AB
Inner CoreSolid, innermost layer of Earth
Outer CoreEarth's only liquid layer
Iron and NickelTwo elements that make up the core
MantleThe largest by volume layer
CrustThinnest, outermost layer
Continentaltype of crust that is thickest and least dense
OcenanicType of crust that is thinnest and least dense
BasaltType of rock that oceanic crust is made of
inner core and outer coreThe spinning of these causes most of Earth's magnetic field
Asthenospherethe layer on the bottom of the Lithosphere
LithosphereThe rigid layer that includes the crust and the upper mantle
tectonic platesthe crust id broken into these large pieces
Lithospheric platesThe Lithosphere is broken into these big pieces
convection currentsthe type of heat transfer in the Mantle
convection currentsthese move the Tectonic Plates
heat and pressurethese increase as you go deeper into the Earth
crustleast dense layer
inner coremost dense layer
upper mantleThis layer contains both the Lithosphere and the Asthenosphere.
