Front 1

Crust

Back 1

a layer of solid rock that includes both dry land and ocean floor

Front 2

Basalt

Back 2

A dark rock with a fine texture. The ocean crust is made of this type of rock.

Front 3

Granite

Back 3

A light colored rock with a coarse texture. This ock makes up the continental crust

Front 4

Mantle

Back 4

a layer of hot, solid rock that lies beneath Earth's crust. Has 3 like parts - litho, astheno & mantle

Front 5

Lithosphere

Back 5

a rigid layer made up of the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust

Front 6

Asthenosphere

Back 6

the soft layer of the mantle where the mitho floats. This layer of the Earth is soft - it can bend like plastic

Front 7

Outer Core

Back 7

a layer of molten iron and nickel that surronds the inner core. The outer core is a liquid.

Front 8

Inner Core

Back 8

A dense ball of iron and nickel at the center of the earth

Front 9

Pressure

Back 9

results from a force pressing on an area. Pressure inside the earth increases as you go deeper

Front 10

Radiation

Back 10

The transfer of energy through space. Heat transfer takes place with no direct contact between the heat source and object

Front 11

Conduction

Back 11

A heat transfer between materials that are touching

Front 12

Convection

Back 12

Heat transfer by the movement of heat within a fluid

Front 13

Convection Currents

Back 13

The movement of a fluid, caused by differenes in tempature, that transfer heat from one part of fluid to another

Front 14

Density

Back 14

is a measure of how much mass there is in a volume of substance.
