Density and Earth's Layers

Why does Earth have different layers?

• Different densities of the planet's materials

• Different volumes of the planet's materials

• Different masses of the planet's materials

• Different colors of the planet's materials

What happens to temperature, pressure, and density as you go deeper towards the Earth's interior?

• they increase

• they decrease

• they remain the same

• the increase and decrease

What two types of measurements make up DENSITY? 

• Mass and Volume

• Temperature and Mass

• Grams and Centimeters

• Volume and Weight

If the volume of a box stays the same, but the mass is increased (add more stuff), what will happen to the density of the box?

• It will increase

• It will stay the same

• It will decrease

• The volume will increase

Which layer of the Earth is a dense solid ball of Iron and Nickle?

• Crust

• Mantle

• Outer Core

• Inner Core

The most dense layer of the Earth is:

• Crust

• Mantle

• Core

Density ______________________ as you go deeper into the Earth.

• increases

• decreases

• goes up or down depending on the layer

• stays the same

What are the 3 main layers of the Earth?

• Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Biosphere

• Crust, Mantle, Core

• Rock, Magma, Ocean
