How would you describe movement of rock in the Mantle?

cool rock falls, hot rock rises

How would you describe the Lithosphere?

Composed of the crust and upper mantel. divided into tectonic plates.

The density of the marble determines the time it will take to sink to the bottom of the graduated cylinder.

independent: density; dependent: time

How the earth formed:

start exploded, gravity form large rock, planetary differentiation

Answers

1
T or F: The oceanic crust is more dense than the continental crust.
False
True
2
A process that created the layers of our Earth in which the denser materials sink to the center and the less dense rise.
convection
lithosphere
planetary differentiation
asthenosphere
3
How would you describe movement of rock in the Mantle?
it's solid, no movement
cool rock falls, hot rock rises
hot rock falls, cool rock rises
4
Which part of the core is liquid?
Inner Core
Outer Core
5
How would you describe the Lithosphere?
Composed of the crust and upper mantel. divided into tectonic plates.
weak or soft mantle, slow flowing rock
strong lower part of mantle
6
As you move from the crust to the core:
the layers become more dense.
the layers are all liquid
the layers cool down
the layers become less dense
7
The layer of weak or soft mantle made of slow flowing rock. Tectonic plates move on this layer.
Asthenosphere
Lithosphere
Crust
Mesosphere
8
density=
volume/mass
mass/volume
mass x volume
9
units of mass:
grams
centimeters cubed
milliliters

independent: time; dependent: density
independent: graduated cylinder; dependent: marble
independent: density; dependent: time
independent: marble; dependent: graduated cylinder
11
Earth's compositional layers:
lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, inner core
crust, mantle, core.
Oceanic crust, inner core, and mantle. lithosphere, ast
Temperature, pressure and crust.
12
amount of mass in a given space
density
volume
gravity
13
How the earth formed:
start exploded, gravity form large rock, planetary differentiation
star exploded, planetary differentiation, gravity formed large rock
planetary differentiation, star exploded, gavity formed large rock
14
The force that pulls towards the center of an object:
Density
Gravity
Volume
Mass
15
volume =
density x mass
density/mass
lenght X width X height
