| seismic waves | vibrations that travel through earth carrying the enrgy released during an earthquake |
| pressure | results from a force pressing on an area |
| granite | is a rock that usually is a light color and has coarse grains found in continental crust |
| inner core | a dense ball of soild metal |
| lithosphere | the rigid layer made up of the uppermost part of the mantle and crust |
| outer core | is a layer of molten metal(liquid) surrounding the inner core |
| mantle | is made of rock that is very hot, but solid. It is between the crust and the core |
| mesosphere | beneath the asthenosphere. It is hot but more rigid. The stiffness is a result of increasingly high pressure |
| asthenosphere | the soft layer of the mantle on which the lithosphere floats |
| basalt | is a fine-grained rock found in the oceanic crust |
| crust | the layer of rock that forms Earth's outer skin |
