Praxis 5005 Kathleen Jasper Book
Earth is made up of - answer Crust/Lithosphere, mantle, and core
The earth gets ______ toward the center. - answer denser
The temperature _______ deeper into Earth. - answer increases
Crust - answer The thin and solid outermost layer of the Earth above the mantle
Composition Layer: 0 - 100 km - answer Crust
Mantle - answerthe layer of the earth between the crust and the core
The mantle is composed of - answer Aluminum and silicates
Composition Layer: 100 - 2900 km - answerMantle
Core - answerThe central part of the earth below the mantle
Composition Layer: 2900 - 6370 km - answerCore
Mechanical Layers of Earth - answerlithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer
core
Lithosphere - answerThe outermost and most rigid that includes the crust and the top of
the mantle.
Mechanical Layer: 0 - 100 km - answerLithosphere
Asthenosphere - answerUnderneath the lithosphere; this region of the mantle flows
relatively easily
The mantle is NOT - answerliquid
Mechanical Layer: 100 - 350 km - answerAsthenosphere
Mesosphere - answerBeneath the asthenosphere; encompasses the lower mantle;
where materials still flow but at a much slower rate
Mechanical Layer: 350 - 2900 - answerMesosphere
Outer Core - answerA layer of liquid iron and nickel beneath the mesosphere
