A | B |
convection | transfer of heat though liquids or gases |
conduction | transfer of heat through direct contact of particles of matter |
radiation | transfer of heat through empty space |
lithosphere | composed of the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust |
asthenosphere | semi rigid part of the middle mantle that flows like thick syrup |
indirect evidence | seismic waves |
direct evidence | rock samples |
crust | rocky layer of the earth that includes the oceans, dry land |
outer core | layer of earth made of liquid nickel and iron |
inner core | layer of earth made of solid nickel and iron |
mantle | layer of earth that includes molten rock |
magnetic field | created by the movement within earth's liquid outer core |
poor heat conductors | plastic, wood, glass |
density | how much mass is in an object |
An increase in temperature causes this | Denisty decreases |
An increase in density is a result of this | temperature decrease |
