Earth's Layers/Heat Transfer

How does temperature change as you move from the crust to the core?

• it gets cooler
• it gets hotter
• it stays the same
• the core is frozen

Organize the Layers from the Surface to the Deepest.

• Mantle

• Outer Core

• Inner Core

• Crust

Match the layer to its composition.

• Solid Metal

• Outer Core

• Liquid Metal

• Mantle

• Semi-Liquid Rock

• Crust

• Solid Rock

• Inner Core

What layer of the earth is composed of material of the highest density?

• Outer core

• Inner core

• Crust

• Mantle

The Earth is made up of several different layers, and each layer has different properties. Which layer of the Earth is the least dense?

• mantle

• inner core

• outer core

• lithosphere (crust)

The surface of the Earth is made of several tectonic plates that move at a very slow rate. What causes the plates to move?

• explosions within the Earth's mantle

• convection currents within the Earth's mantle

• expansion of the Earth's core pushing on the tectonic plates

• contraction of the Earth's core pulling on the tectonic plates

Match these

• Conduction

• Liquid (or air) heats up, speeds up and spreads out, becoming less dense. As it rises, it cools, slows, and comes back together. This increases density, making it sink again.

• Convection

• Heat transfers from objects that are touching.

• Radiation

• Heat transfers through waves/rays
