How does the density of Earth's layers change with depth?

Back

As depth increases, the density of Earth's layers increases.

The outer core is in a liquid state.

Front

What happens to temperature as you go deeper into the Earth?

Back

Temperature generally increases as you go deeper into the Earth.

Front

What is the lithosphere?

Back

The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.

Front

What is the stiffer mantle?

Back

The stiffer mantle is a part of the mantle that is more solid and less ductile compared to the asthenosphere.
