1 Compositional Layers Mechanical/Structural Layers Aesthenosphere Mantle Mesosphere Inner Core Core Lithosphere Outer Core Crust Directions: Pick colors for each layer to produce a key and then color the corresponding layer of the earth.
2 Part 2: Compositional Layers are defined by the chemical composition of the rock. Label each of the compositional layers on the front of the page with the top three predominant chemicals found from the list below. Label the chemicals with their chemical symbols to save space. If the layers are too thin, draw arrows from their chemical symbols to the appropriate layer. (The core will only have two choices) Silicon Oxygen Magnesium Iron Aluminum Nickel Part 3: Mechanical/Structural layers are defined by their rigidity. Rocks in these layers exhibit properties that are characterized by their state of matter. Layers in this group are differentiated by how they react under stress. Some will crumble and crack while others will fold and bend like putty. We say that these puddy like layers have plastic qualities however they are still considered to be solids. One layer s temperature is high enough for it to melt into into a liquid yet another, while even hotter, is crushed into a solid. Label the layers on the diagram with a R for rigid solid, P for Plastic solid, or L for Liquid.
3 Part 4: Trends of Earth Layers: On the following diagram indicate the trends of temperature, density, gravity, and pressure from the crust to the core. To complete this, draw four evenly spaced arrows from the crust to the core. Then pick the correct phrase from the list below and label the arrows. (not all answer choices will be used) CRUST Phrase Options: Hotter MANTLE Cooler Less Dense More Dense Higher Gravity Less Gravity CORE Greater Pressure Less Pressure
