The Earth's magnetic field protects us from deadly radiation. What causes the Earth to have a magnetic field?

• Plastic asthenosphere

• the thin crust

• the liquid metal outer core

• heat rising from the center of the Earth

How are the Earth's lithosphere and asthenosphere different from each other?

• They have different physical properties

• They have different chemical properties

• They were formed during different time periods

• Waves cannot travel through the lithosphere

What do seismic waves indicate about the physical properties of the asthenosphere?

• It has a high temperature

• It is only made of sedimentary rocks

• It is not solid or liquid...it is like a flowing plastic.

• It is made of less dense rocks

• Convection

• Contraction

• Chimney Effect
