12.7 cm
What is the average thickness of the lithosphere in centimeters?
100 cm
What is the purpose of labeling a person or tree on the surface of the lithosphere in the scale model?
To represent the outermost layer of the Earth
Which layer is located closest to the Earth's surface?
Troposphere
If one centimeter represents 100 km in the model, how many centimeters would the lithosphere, with a thickness of 70 km, be represented as?
7 cm
Which layer has a thickness of approximately 2270 km?
Outer Core
In which layer would you find the ozone layer according to the color scheme?
Stratosphere
What is the significance of drawing the layers of Earth's interior and atmosphere to scale in this lab activity?
To show the actual sizes of each layer compared to one another
How does rounding numbers to the nearest tenth play a role in creating an accurate scale model in this lab activity?
It ensures that each layer is consistent in width
What is the total scale thickness of the Earth's layers indicated on the scale in centimeters?
$5 \times (7 + 3)$
