6.1 Quiz #2 Practice

1. crust

• the thin and solid outermost layer of Earth above the mantle; continental and oceanic crust form the upper part of the lithosphere, a compositional layer of Earth, contains silica and oxygen
• an elastic wave, or packet of energy produced by an earthquake, There are P waves, S waves and surface waves.
• the solid, outer layer of Earth that consists of the crust and the rigid upper part of the mantle, a structural layer of Earth
• literally, the “middle sphere”; the strong, lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core; a structural layer of the Earth
• the layer of Earth’s interior located between the inner core and the mantle, composed mostly of molten iron and nickel; a structural layer of Earth.
