2.3 Plate Tectonics

What layer has a solid inner part and a liquid outer part?

• Crust
• Mantle
• Core
• none

What layer is the thinnest?

• Crust 
• Mantle
• Core
• They are all the same size

What is happening in the picture?

• layers of the Earth are changing positions

• the inner and outer core are solid

• convection currents are causing the tectonic plates to move

• the mantle is growing

What are the two types of crust?

• continental and oceanic

• ocean and basin

• lower and upper

• thick and thin

What is Plate Tectonics?

• movement of the Earth in space

• movement of the oceans against Earth's land

• movement of the Earth around the sun

• movement of the pieces of Earth's crust
