  7. Crust • The Earth's Crust is like the skin of an apple. It is very thin in comparison to the other three layers.

  8. Crust • The crust of the Earth is broken into many pieces called plates. The plates move along the soft mantle which is the layer located located below the crust.

  9. Crust • The plates move along smoothly but sometimes they get stuck and pressure builds up.

  10. Crust The pressure builds and causes an Earthquake as rocks break and crack.

  11. Mantle • The mantle is the largest layer of the Earth. • It is made of hot, dense rock. The rock in the mantle flows like asphalt because of the temperature differences found in the mantle.

  12. Mantle • The movement of the mantle create the movement of the Earth’s plates.
