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

Heat transfer within a fluid takes place by

• Convection

• Conduction

• Radiation

• Sublimation

It is a theory that explains the structure of Earth’s crust associated with many phenomena resulting from the movement of rigid lithosphere plates that interact slowly over the underlying mantle.

• Lithospheric Plate

• Plate Tectonics

• Asthenospheric Plate

• Plate Boundary

2. An entire cycle of heating, rising, cooling, and sinking which is the same process thought to be the force behind plate tectonics.

• Convection Current

• Subduction Pull

• Conduction Current

• Subduction Push

The mobile part of the mantle under the lithosphere.

• Core

• Mantle

• Asthenosphere

• Crust

The densest layer of the internal structure of the Earth.

• Core

• Mantle

• Crust

The least dense layer of the solid Earth that is made of light rock material.

• Core

• Mantle
