Earths Interior test review

1)what is the compostable of each layer

1. crust

2. mantle

3. core

2) what is the structure for each layer

1. lithosphere- solid/ridged

2. asthenosphere- ductile

3. meosphere- solid/ridged

4. outer core- liquid

5. inner core- solid/ridged

   3) what layer makes up the tectonic?

   lithosphere

   4) which layer cause the magnetic field of the earth

   outer core

   5) we’ve never dug into the center of the earth what is our evidence for its layers?

   studying seismic waves

   6) what is differentiation

   the process of how the earth got its layers

   7) what does the densest material go inside the earth

   the core

   8) name and explain the 4 pieces of beeidend for pangea

   shape of continents: they look like puzzle pieces

   climate: finding cold weather fossils in warm places

   fossils: we find the same fossils on different continents

   rock formations: the same rock formations found on different continents

   9) continent drift theory is a term used for continents moving. how is it different from the theory of plate tectonics?

   plate tectonics theory explains why the plates moved. continental drift theory couldn’t

   10) what is seafood spreading and what are two pieces of evident that it is happening

   The sea floor spreading apart whgule magma rises and hardens to make a new ocean floor. age of ocean crust and where volcanoes and earthquakes are is the evidence

   11) describe the age of the seafloor in comparison to the mid ocean ridge

   the age of the sea floor gets older as you move away from the mid ocean ridge
