Earth’s Interior

By: Connor Adrian ,Austin and Mitchell

The ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume of the substance.

Density

The inner core is the solid, dense center of our planet that extends from the bottom of the outer core to the center of the earth, which is about 6,380 kilo meters beneath the earth.

Inner Core

Outer core

The outer core is the liquid layer of the earths core that lies beneath the mantle and surrounds the inner core.

Crust

The outer most layer of the earth is the crust the crust is 5 to 100 km thick.

P-wave

A seismic wave that cause particles of rock to move in a back and forth direction.

S-wave

• A seismic wave that cause particles of rock to move in a side to side direction.

Asthenosphere

The soft layer of the mantle on which the tectonic plates move.

Tectonic plates

A block of lithosphere that consists of the crust and the rigid, outermost part of the mantle.

Convection

The movement of matter due to the differences intensity the transfer of energy due to the movement of matter.

The Mantle

The layer of rock between earth’s crust and core.
