liquid
A student constructs a clay model of Earth to show its layers. What property is the model able to share with the real Earth? The model will have layers that are the same-
temperatures as the real Earth
positions as the real Earth
state of matter as the real Earth
thickness as the real Earth
Which is the best description of the characteristics of the asthenosphere?
Solid, but flowing
liquid, but dense
hot, but solid metal
brittle, but shifting
Which layer of Earth is broken up into giant moving plates?
Asthenosphere
Inner Core
Outer Core
Lithosphere
The lithosphere consists of the..
upper mantle and the crust
inner and outer core
crust and the entire mantle
lower mantle and the outer core
Earth's crust would be best modeled by using a material that is-
liquid and hot
soft and flexible
thin and solid
dense and smooth
Which of the following best describes the position of the layer of the earth known as the crust?
above the mantle,which is above the core
above the core, and below the mantle
between the inner core and the outer core
between outer core and the inner core
