What is the correct order of Earth's Layers based on Composition?

• Crust - Outer core - Inner Core - Mantle

• Mantle - Outer core - Inner core - Crust

• Crust - Mantle - Outer Core - Inner Core

• Crust - Mantle - Core

Earth's Inner core is?

• A layer of rock that forms Earth's outer surface

• A layer of molten (liquid) iron and nickle

• A layer of solid iron and nickel

• A solid/plastic layer of Peridotite that flows over time?

The Earth's Mantle is made up of?

• A solid layer of Iron and Nickel

• A molten (liquid) layer of of Iron and Nickel

• A solid layer of Granite and Basalt

• A solid/plastic layer of Peridotite that moves over time through the process of convection

As you move from the surface of the Earth to the center, pressure ......

• decreases

• increases

The outer layer of the Earth is called the

• Mantle

• Inner core

• Asthenosphere

When you touch a hot pot or pan, energy moves from the pot to your hand. This is called

• Convection

• Radiation

• Conduction

• Subduction

Heat transfer within a fluid takes place by

• Convection
