This diagram shows the different layers of the Earth as well as how thick they are. It also tells how the elements and minerals behave at those conditions Stop and Think! 1. How do the layers temperatures affect the materials as you move deeper through the layers? (ex: The Lithosphere is very rigid, does that change as you move into the ...
Students will model and describe the layers of the Earth, including the crust, lithosphere, asthenosphere, mantle, outer core, and inner core through several hands-on activities. Whole class & groups of 3-4 students.
Scientists use seismic waves to study the layers of the Earth. Earth’s shape is nearly a sphere, with a slight flattening at the poles. The ocean covers 71% of the earth’s surface. Seven major continents make up the rest of the surface. Name the continents: Australia, Asia, Africa, Antarctica, Europe, North America and South America.

Earth can be subdivided into layers based on two criteria: (1) composition (density) differences and (2) physical properties. I. Based on compositional differences. 1. Crust. This is the thinnest and outermost layer of the Earth. There are two types of crust– the. continental crust and the oceanic crust.
Our Layers of the Earth lesson plan introduces students to the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core of our planet. Download the free PDF!
To understand why the earth shakes or how a tsunami wave is generated, it is necessary that we know certain details of the interior of the earth. In the previous chapter, you have noted that the earth-forming materials have been distributed in the form of layers from the crust to the core.
