What is the cause of Earth’s magnetic field?
What increases as you travel from the
surface to the core?
What is the main type of rock that makes up
Earth’s surface?

What information have scientists used to
learn more about Earth’s interior?
Which of Earth’s layers have convection
currents?

How are the inner core and the outer core
similar?
Different?
