Layers of the Earth
Directions: You will be creating a representation of the Earth, its layers (structural and compositional) and
spheres. You have three (3) options:
1. Work with a group (3-4) and make a large poster
2. Work individually or with a partner and create a smaller drawing (8.5 x 11)
3. Create a layered “book” of the Earth
Make sure you include all of the following information on your poster:
Structural layers of the Earth: for each one, use the appropriate color to indicate the layer (6 pts)
Mesosphere = yellow
Asthenosphere = red
Lithosphere = green/brown for the land, and blue for the water
Compositional layers of the Earth: draw in and label each layer. Make sure that the layers include depth (ie.
Mantle = 2,900 km) (10 pts)
Crust
Mantle
Inner Core
Outer Core
Earth spheres: Make a bubble extending from your earth for each of the spheres. Each bubble should include
a depiction describing the sphere and also a word definition. (12 pts)
Biosphere
Atmosphere
Hydrosphere
Geosphere
Your finished project could have this shape:
