What is the Inner Core?

Back

The Inner Core is the innermost layer of the Earth, composed primarily of iron and nickel, and is solid due to the immense pressure.

Front

Which layer of the Earth is the thickest?

Back

The Mantle is the thickest layer of the Earth, making up about 84% of its volume.

Front

What is the Outer Core?

Back

The Outer Core is the layer of the Earth located beneath the Mantle and above the Inner Core, composed of liquid iron and nickel.

Front

Which layer is considered the thinnest layer of the Earth?

Back

The Crust is the thinnest layer of the Earth, consisting of solid rock and soil.

Front

True or False: The Earth is a giant, solid ball of rock and soil.

Back

False. The Earth has multiple layers, including liquid and solid components.

Front

What is the Lithosphere?

Back

The Lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.

Front

What is the Asthenosphere?

Back

The Asthenosphere is the semi-fluid layer of the mantle located beneath the Lithosphere, allowing for tectonic plate movement.

Front

What materials primarily compose the Earth's Core?

Back

The Earth's Core is primarily composed of iron and nickel.

Front

What is the difference between the Inner Core and Outer Core?

Back

The Inner Core is solid due to high pressure, while the Outer Core is liquid.

Front

What is the role of the Mantle in Earth's geology?

Back

The Mantle plays a crucial role in tectonic activity and convection currents that drive plate movements.
