Study Guide for Earth’s Layers, Plate Tectonics Summative Crust Asthenosphere Plate Tectonics Mantle Mesosphere Convergent Boundary Core Continental Drift Divergent Boundary Lithosphere Sea-Floor Spreading Transform Boundary 1. What is the chemical composition, physical properties, and thickness of the crust? 2. Where is the crust located? 3. What is the chemical composition, physical properties, and thickness of the mantel? 4. Where is the mantel located? 5. What is the chemical composition, physical properties, and thickness of the outer core? 6. Where is outer core located? 7. What is the chemical composition, physical properties, and thickness of the inner core? 8. Where is the inner core located? 9. How do the layers of the earth compare in density? Which is most dense and which is least dense? 10. Which layers of the earth makes up tectonic plates? 11. What are created because of transform boundary’s? 12. What state (solid, liquid, gas) is the inner and outer core? 13. What layer or part of the Earth causes tectonic plates to move? 14. What causes the tectonic plates to move? 15. What is the name of the strong physical layer of the mantle? 16. What are Plate Tectonics, continental drift, and Pangaea and how do they all relate? 17. What evidence supported Wegner’s hypothesis of continental drift? 18. How does sea-floor spreading provides a way for continents to move? 19. Draw and label the three types of tectonic plate boundaries. 20. Explain how scientists measure the rate at which tectonic plates move. What units?
