Earth's Layers

Front

What are the layers of the Earth from the inside to the outside?

Back

The layers of the Earth from the inside to the outside are: inner core, outer core, mantle, crust.

Front

What is the crust of the Earth?

Back

The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth, where we live.

Front

What is the lithosphere?

Back

The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth, which includes the crust and the upper part of the mantle.

Front

What happens to pressure and temperature as we go deeper into the Earth?

Back

Both pressure and temperature increase as we go deeper into the Earth.

Front

What is the composition of the inner core?

Back

The inner core is mostly made up of iron and nickel.

Front

What is the outer core?

Back

The outer core is the layer of molten metal surrounding the inner core.

Front

What is the mantle?

Back

The mantle is the thick layer of rock between the crust and the outer core.

Front

What is the asthenosphere?

Back

The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer of the mantle that allows tectonic plates to move.

Front

What is the difference between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere?

Back

The lithosphere is rigid and includes the crust and upper mantle, while the asthenosphere is semi-fluid and allows for movement.

Front

What is the significance of the Earth's layers?

Back

The Earth's layers play a crucial role in geological processes, including plate tectonics and volcanic activity.
