Inside Earth's Layers and Plate Movements

Jared introduces the concept of Earth's layers and plate tectonics using a model and a fun demonstration with cheese and crackers. He explains the Earth's crust, mantle, and core, and how the crust is divided into moving plates. The video covers the effects of plate movements, such as earthquakes and mountain formation, and encourages viewers to explore more about Earth's geology.

What is one thing that a model of Earth cannot show us?

• The size of the Earth

• The continents and oceans

• The spinning of the Earth

• The interior of the Earth

What lies beneath the Earth's crust?

• The mantle

• The ocean

• The atmosphere

• Another layer of crust

What is the layer directly beneath the Earth's crust called?

Which layer of the Earth is known to be hot and partially moving?

• Mantle

• Crust

• Core

• Atmosphere

What happens when tectonic plates move apart?

• Volcanoes erupt

• Mountains form

• Earthquakes occur

• New crust is created

What is the result of tectonic plates sliding past each other?

• Mountain building

• Earthquakes

• Volcanoes

• New crust formation

What is the primary cause of earthquakes?

• Tectonic plates sliding past each other

• Volcanic eruptions

• Tectonic plates colliding

• Tectonic plates moving apart

What occurs when tectonic plates collide?

• They form new oceans

• They cause the Earth to spin

• They create earthquakes

• They form mountains

What happens to a tectonic plate that goes under another during a collision?

• It melts due to heat

• It forms a new ocean
