Earth Layers Compare/Contrst Complete the Earth Layers T-Chart Rocks: Solid/Brittle C Crust Outermost, Coldest, Thinnest, Least Dense M Rocks: Semi-Solid, Molten Thickest, “Plastic Layer” Mantle Oc Iron/Nickel: Liquid All Liquid Outer Core Magnetic Field Ic Iron/Nickel: Solid Innermost, Hottest, Densest Inner Core

As you move from Crust to the Core: Use HOTTER, COOLER, DENSER, or LESS DENSE for each comparison/contrast fill-in. 1. What happens to temperature and density as you move from Crust to the Core? As you move from Crust to the Core: - The temperature increases - The density increases - The pressure increases - They all increase

Cooler and less dense Hotter and more dense Cooler and less dense Use HOTTER, COOLER, DENSER, or LESS DENSE for each comparison/contrast fill-in. Cooler and less dense 2. The Crust is ______________________________ than the Mantle. Hotter and more dense 3. The Outer Core is __________________________ than the Mantle. Cooler and less dense 4. Compared to the Outer Core, the Mantle is ____________________

Hotter and more dense Cooler and less dense Hotter and more dense 5. Compared to the Crust, the Mantle is __________________________________ Cooler and less dense 6. Compared to the Inner Core, the Outer Core is __________________________ Hotter and more dense 7. Compared to the Mantle Core, the Outer Core is _________________________

Ic is more dense and hotter 8. How is the Inner Core different than the Outer Core? Ic is Solid, Oc is liquid Ic is more dense and hotter Inner core is deeper 9. How is the Inner Core and the Outer core similar? They are both made of Iron/Nickel

They are both made out of ROCKS 10. How is the Mantle and the Crust similar They are both made out of ROCKS 11. How is the Mantle and the Crust different? Crust is solid, Mantle is semi-solid and molten Mantle is hotter and more dense Mantle is thicker (thickest) Crust is thinner (thinnest)
