Full Name___________________________________Class Period_________Date___________ Layers of the Earth Cut out each characteristic on the attached page, and place it under the proper heading below. Earth’s main layers include the crust, mantle, and core. These layers are then subdivided according to chemical and physical characteristics. Crust Mantle Core the outermost layer of Earth middle layer of Earth made mostly of nickel and iron the least dense layer of Earth slowly moves the densest layer of Earth thinnest layer of Earth subdivided into four parts thickest layer of Earth contains the ocean floor and continents made of solid and plastic rocks has an inner portion and outer portion rocks are made mostly of oxygen (O) and silicon (Si) density = 3.9-5.0g/cm3 can reach temperatures of 6000˚C (10,832˚F) Shaded part: Shaded part: Shaded part: Modeling Earth B. Think of any other object that is already in layers, like an egg, or one that you could put together. As you think, remember that the innermost layer is surrounded by the middle and then the outer layer. A. Using the hard-boiled egg as an example, label which part of the egg would be the: -crust -mantle -core 4. Sketch and label the object with its name in the section below. 5. Label the sketch with what would be the crust, mantle and core of the object if it were used to represent the earth’s major layers. 1. _____Mantle________ 2. _______Core_______ 3. _______Crust______ C. Fill in the white boxes with the names of correct layers, spelling them correctly. Earth’s Three Main Layers Determined by their chemical properties: Mantle Core Crust Determined by their physical properties: Inner Outer Lower mantle Center Upper Mantle to Asthenosphere surface Uppermost Mantle Lithosphere Cut out each characteristic below and glue it under the proper heading on the attached paper.
