the deeper the layer, the hotter the temperature.

The Earth has FIVE physical layers. What is the correct order from outside to inside?

Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Mesosphere, Outer Core, Inner Core

It is most likely that the high pressure in the core comes from

the mass and weight of the layers above the core.

From what you have learned, you can conclude that

iron will melt only at a very high temperature.

the part of the Earth's crust that forms land masses.

more dense than continental crust

The mantle is made of

very hot rock that flows like hot asphalt

Convection takes place in the ____________ and can described as __________________

Mantle/rising of hot magma and sinking of cool magma

One can best show Earth's layers by a

peach half, showing the skin, flesh, and pit.
