Which layer of Earth is characterized by rock that is plastic, or soft enough to flow?
Asthenosphere
Lithosphere
Crust
Inner core
The driving force of the tectonic plates are convection currents, where can these be found?
Inner Core
Outer Core
Mantle
Crust
The outermost solid layer(1st layer) of the Earth is called the
crust
mantle
inner core
outer core
This is the upper mantle, rigid layer of the Earth, made up of two parts, is divided into pieces call tectonic plates.
Asthenosphere
Lithosphere
outer core
inner core
Select the types of crust.
Continental
Fire
Oceanic
Volcanic
This type of crust overlies the ocean basins.
Continental
Oceanic
Lithosphere
What is the reason that outer core is made of liquid materials?
Because it is made of water.
Because of heat from inner core
Due to volcanic activities.
Iron is always in liquid form.
I am the 2nd largest layer of earth and made of liquid iron and nickel. Which layer am I?
Crust
Inner Core
Outer Core
Mantle
Largest layer of Earth; made up of lithosphere & asthenosphere, average temp. 3000 degrees.
Mantle
Inner Core
Crust
Outer Core
Earth's magnetic field is created because magma moves around the
outer core
inner core
mantle
crust
Solid ball of iron and nickel
avg. temp. 5000-6000 degrees
densest layer
spins faster than Earth rotates.
Inner Core
Outer core
Mantle
Crust
The process which causes the crust to move is known as
conduction
radiation
convection
subduction
