5 Questions
Match the following Earth layers with their descriptions:
geosphere = the solid part of the Earth that consists of all rock crust = the Earth's thin outer layer composed almost entirely of light elements mantle = the layer of rock below the surface, makes up 64% of the mass of the Earth core = Earth's innermost layer, composed of the densest elements
Match the following terms to their descriptions:
lithosphere = the solid, outer layer of the Earth that consists of the crust and the rigid upper part of the mantle asthenosphere = the solid, plastic layer of the mantle beneath the lithosphere that flows very slowly and allows tectonic plates to move tectonic plate = huge pieces of the lithosphere erosion = the removal and transport of surface material
Match the following atmospheric layers with their descriptions:
atmosphere = the mixture of gasses that surround the Earth troposphere = the atmospheric layer nearest Earth's surface and extends 18 km above the surface stratosphere = the atmosphere layer that extends from 18 km above Earth's surface
Match the following terms to their definitions:
geosphere = the solid part of the Earth that consists of all rock crust = the Earth's thin outer layer composed almost entirely of light elements mantle = the layer of rock below the surface, makes up 64% of the mass of the Earth core = Earth's innermost layer, composed of the densest elements
Match these terms to their respective descriptions:
lithosphere = the solid, outer layer of the Earth that consists of the crust and the rigid upper part of the mantle asthenosphere = the solid, plastic layer of the mantle beneath the lithosphere that flows very slowly and allows tectonic plates to move tectonic plate = huge pieces of the lithosphere erosion = the removal and transport of surface material
