The answers will be reviewed following the program. 1. Earth is made up of layers. 2. The crust around Earth is one solid piece. 3. Miners have been able to dig 10 miles/15 kilometers into Earth's crust. 4. The crust gets warmer towards the center of Earth. 5. The asthenosphere is between the mantle and crust. 6. The core is made of hard rock. 7. Circulation of the outer core's liquid metal creates Earth's magnetic field. 8. The inner core is liquid metal. 9. Heat from Earth's interior moves around Earth's plates. 10. Once the crust is broken, it can never be fixed.
2 Name Discussion Questions Directions: Research and report back to the class. Creatively present the information you have learned. For example, you could create a game, do a dramatization, a news show, PowerPoint presentation with visuals, design a timeline, or write a story and read it to class. 1. If you could travel into Earth's interior, all the way to the middle, what would you find? 2. Why is Earth's crust so important for human life to exist? 3. The crust is cracked into many pieces called plates. What do these plates do? 4. How does the temperature change from the crust of Earth to the core? 5. What causes this change in temperature? 6. What is the layer called between the crust and the upper mantle? 7. Since miners can't dig much further than two miles/three kilometers into Earth, how else can they find out important information about Earth's interior? 8. How does gravity play a role in these layers? 9. What is the main difference between the mantle and the core? 10. What cause the magnetic field on Earth? 11. How hot is the inner core? 12. How do the plates move around? 13. How does the crust renew its gaps?
3 (pre/post) Name Video Quiz Directions: Now that you have learned so much from viewing Digging Through Earth, it is now time to test what you have learned. Answer each question by circling the correct response by circling either true or false. Do your best! 1. Earth's thin shell of hard rock is called the crust. 2. The asthenosphere has soft rock that lacks strength. 3. Both layers of the mantle are mostly rock; both layers of the core are metal. 4. The middle of Earth is soft and spongy. 5. Heat rising from deep inside Earth can move the crust's plates.
