There are three of these type of layers, the classification is base on the chemicals that are present and their properties.
physical layers
chemical layers
compositional layers
There are 5 of these layers. They are classified based on the properties the layers possess for example density, state of matter (liquid, solid)
chemical layers
compositional layers
physical layers
The outermost compositional layer. There are two types: oceanic and continental.
mantle
crust
inner core
outer core
located between the crust and the core, this is a region of hot, slow-flowing solid rock.
crust
mantle
core
The outermost, rigid layer of the Earth. It is made up of the crust and the upper mantle.
lithosphere
asthenosphere
mesosphere
This is the liquid layer of the Earth's core.
inner core
outer core
apple core
The ability to transmit waves, and how those waves are transmitted is considered to be a physical property that helps us to classify the Earth's physical layers.
true
false
There are three compositional layers of the Earth, based on the chemical composition these layers are the Crust, Mantle, and Core.
true
false
There are five physical layers of the Earth based on physical properties such as density, if a layer is solid or liquid, how a layers moves, and how it transmits waves.
true
false
The movement of matter caused by differences in temperatures caused by variations in temperature is called:
conduction
convection
radiation
What elements make up the majority of the Earth's core?
silicon
oxygen
iron
A substances density is what type of property of matter?
chemical property
physical property
energy property
The elements that make up a layer of the Earth would be considered to be what type of property?
chemical property
physical property
energy property
Matter is not created or destroyed, it is just recycled over and over again. (it just changes from one form to another)
true
false
This is the densest compositional layer and makes up one third of the Earths mass.
the crust
the mantle
the core
the lithosphere
