Chapter 4: Earth's Interior and Heat Transfer Word Games

Try these games to practice Ch. 4, sections 1 & 2.

AB
fluidThis is either a gas or a liquid
convection currentsThe mantle and outer core of the Earth both have these.
continental crustThis layer is mostly made of granite.
oceanic crustThis layer is mostly made of basalt.
pressureThis is the reason why the inner core is solid even though it is extremely hot.
magnetic fieldThe currents in the outer core create this.
lithosphereThis layer is made of the crust and the upper mantle.
asthenosphereThis layer is soft like taffy.
outer coreThis layer is made of liquid metal
inner coreThis layer is made of solid metal.
seismic wavesThe speeds and paths of these have taught scientists about Earth's interior.
rock samplesDirect evidence used by scientists to study Earth's interior.
heat transferThe movement of energy from a hotter to cooler object.
radiationHeat transfer from the sun is considered this type of heat transfer.
conductionA pot on a stove is an example of this type of heat transfer.
convectionThis type of heat transfer only occurs in fluids.
temperatureThis increases the deeper you go into Earth
densityThis is what causes hot fluids to rise and cold fluids to sink.
