PPT-LAYERS OF THE EARTH!

An Introduction to Ch 11amp12 Regions of the Earth The Earth is made up predominantly of two major regions A predominantly molten central core A mostly solid outer mantle and crust Hydrosphere and Crust . On Monday and Tuesday…. We found the density of liquids and rocks. . We learned that denser materials sink, and lighter materials float.. We learned that granite is lighter than basalt and that iron is denser than both.. Density of rocks. 1) Find the mass of each rock . sample on the electric balance.. Record measurement in data table (. g. ). . 2)Pour 50 . mL. of water from beaker into the graduated cylinder. Use dropper to get the exact amount of 50 . 1.Mantle. 2.. Lithosphere. 3. Outer Core. 4. Inner Core. How compressional forces are caused. . Compressional / Destructive. (subduction zones) plate boundaries occur when an oceanic plate is forced under (or subducts) a continental plate . . Plate . techtonics. Continental Drift. The theory discovered by Alfred Wegener that states the continents were once connected but later drifted apart to their current locations.. Evidence supporting continental drift. Describe the layers of the solid Earth, including the lithosphere, the hot . convecting. mantle, and the dense metallic liquid and solid cores. What properties can be used to describe the layers of the Earth?. S6E5 Minerals, Rocks & Earth’s Layers. 24. Which of the following statements are true?. A. As you go deeper into the Earth, pressure increases. B. As you go deeper into the Earth, temperature increases. Objectives. Describe the layers found within the earth.. Discuss the forces that change the earth’s surface.. Earth’s Layers. Inside our Earth. 3 layers: Crust, Mantle, and Core.. Core can be split up . What does this graph show us?. Density of Earth as Distance from Core Increases. Remember when the Earth was molten? …. More dense elements “sank” to center of Earth!. 3 Chemical Layers of Earth. https://. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQx2wLyagk4. . Essential Question:. How are layers of the Earth different from one another?. Standard:. S6E5a. Compare and contrast the Earth’s crust, mantle, and core including temperature, density, and composition.. https://. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQx2wLyagk4. . Essential Question:. How are layers of the Earth different from one another?. Standard:. S6E5a. Compare and contrast the Earth’s crust, mantle, and core including temperature, density, and composition.. Do Now. SWBAT identify and explain the layers of the Earth . Enter . silently. Grab materials, folders, notebooks. Begin . Do . Now. Write a hypothesis in an if-then-because . statement for the following question:. Inner Core. Outer Core. Mantle. Crust. The Layers of the Earth. 3. Crust. Thinnest layer; density 3 g/cm. 3. The Earth's . outermost. . layer of the 4 main layers. The crust is typically about . 30-40 km thick beneath continents. LAYERS of the Interior. THE CORE- . Nuclear Fusion occurs. Diameter- 400,000 km. The Radiation Zone- . region of compressed gas and energy is transferred by electromagnetic waves.. Thickness- 300,000 km . 6th Grade 2015-2016. By: Katherine Pease. Objective: . Students will compare and contrast the different layers of the Earth to create a informative diagram.. TEK: 6.10 The student understands the structure of Earth, the rock cycle, and plate tectonics..
