Earth's layer

The layers of the Earth in order from the outside in are

• inner core, outer core, mantle, crust
• crust, mantle, outer core, inner core
• crust, mantle, inner core, outer core
• mantle, outer core, mantle, inner core

Identify layer  #20.

• mantle
• asthenosphere
• inner core
• outer core

What observation can we make about Earth’s lithosphere AND asthenosphere?

• The asthenosphere floats on top of the lithosphere.
• The crust and the core make up the lithosphere.
• The crust and mantle make up the asthenosphere. 
• The lithosphere floats on top of the asthenosphere

Scientists determine what Earth’s interior looks like by using:

• Volcanoes
• Seismic Waves
• Continental Drift
• Convection Currents

Identify layer #16.

• Crust
• Mantle
• Lithosphere
• Asthenosphere

Identify layer - #17.

• Crust
• Mantle
• Lithosphere
• Asthenosphere

Large pieces of lithosphere that move around on the asthenosphere are called

• Crust plates
• Tectonic plates
• Mantle pieces
• Core plates

The order of the earth’s compositional layers from most dense to least dense are

• Inner Core, Crust, Mantle and Outer Core
• Crust, Mantle, Outer Core and Inner Core
• Inner Core, Outer Core, Mantle and Crust
• Crust, Outer Core, Inner Core and Mantle.

Temperature _____________________ as you go deeper into the earth.

• increases
• decreases
• goes up and down depending on the layer
• stays the same

Pressure ______________________ as you go deeper into the Earth

• increases
• decreases 
• goes up or down depending on the layer
• stays the same
