Earth's Interior test 7-3

The definition of core is

• the central part of Earth below the mantle.

• the thin and solid outermost layer of Earth above the mantle

• the layer of rock between Earth's crust and core

• •the soft layer of the mantle on which the tectonic plates move

crust

• the thin and solid outermost layer of Earth above the mantle

• the central part of Earth below the mantle

• the layer of rock between Earth's crust and core

• •the soft layer of the mantle on which the tectonic plates move

Asthenosphere

• layer of the earth's mantle below the lithosphere, can bend like plastic and convection currents are thought to occur

• A shell of hot, liquid metal beneath the mantle and above the inner core

• theory that the lithosphere is made of pieces that move

• Location where earth's plates slide past one another

Outer core

• A shell of hot, liquid metal beneath the mantle and above the inner core

• layer of the earth's mantle below the lithosphere, can bend like plastic and convection currents are thought to occur

• theory that the lithosphere is made of pieces that move

• Location where earth's plates slide past one another

Plate tectonics

• theory that the lithosphere is made of pieces that move

• Location where earth's plates slide past one another

• A shell of hot, liquid metal beneath the mantle and above the inner core

• layer of the earth's mantle below the lithosphere, can bend like plastic and convection currents are thought to occur

Transform boundary

• Location where earth's plates slide past one another

• theory that the lithosphere is made of pieces that move

• A shell of hot, liquid metal beneath the mantle and above the inner core

• layer of the earth's mantle below the lithosphere, can bend like plastic and convection currents are thought to occur

Inner core

• A dense sphere of solid iron and nickel at the center of Earth

• thickest of Earth's layers; dense layer of semi-solid rock beneath the earth's crust

• layer composed of Earth's crust and outer mantle

• The movement of liquids/materials due to differences in density that are caused by temperature differences (pot of boiling soup)

Mantle

• thickest of Earth's layers; dense layer of semi-solid rock beneath the earth's crust

• layer composed of Earth's crust and outer mantle

• A dense sphere of solid iron and nickel at the center of Earth

• The movement of liquids/materials due to differences in density that are caused by temperature differences (pot of boiling soup)

Lithosphere

• layer composed of Earth's crust and outer mantle

• The movement of liquids/materials due to differences in density that are caused by temperature differences (pot of boiling soup)

• thickest of Earth's layers; dense layer of semi-solid rock beneath the earth's crust

• A dense sphere of solid iron and nickel at the center of Earth

Convection

• The movement of liquids/materials due to differences in density that are caused by temperature differences (pot of boiling soup)

• layer composed of Earth's crust and outer mantle

• thickest of Earth's layers; dense layer of semi-solid rock beneath the earth's crust

• A dense sphere of solid iron and nickel at the center of Earth
