You Need the Following: • Bill Nye Video Questions • Earth’s Layers Foldable
Label Your Notecards • Crust • Lithosphere • Mantle • Outer Core • Inner Core • Magma • Lava • Convection Currents
Crust • Composition: Silicon, Oxygen, and Aluminum • Types: • Continental Crust: solid & rocky outer layer • Oceanic Crust: thin & dense material
Lithosphere • Includes the Earth’s Crust & Upper Mantle • Divided into small and large tectonic plates that help move the continental and oceanic crust
Mantle • Composition: Silicon, Oxygen, and Magnesium • Thickest layer • Convection currents are located here
Outer Core • Composition: Molten (liquid) Iron & Nickle
Inner Core • Composition: Solid Iron & Nickle • Solid because of the pressure from the layers above • Solid inner core spins in the molten (liquid) outer core • Creates the Earth’s Magnetic Field • Hottest layer
Convection Currents • Happens in the Middle Mantle • Has hot, dense rock that slowly flows • Movement created moves the tectonic plates in the Lithosphere • Caused by hot material, deep in the Mantle, being heated by the Core to rise then cool and sink again
Magma • Molten rock found beneaththe Earth’s surface
Lava • Molten rock found on the Earth’s surface
