| #1 | Geologists obtain indirect evidence about the Earth's interior by using... | seismic waves |
| #2 | What is the correct order (Starting from the surface) of Earth's 4 Layers? (usually we say 3) | Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core |
| #3 | What is the part of the Mantle that is soft like plastic? | asthenosphere |
| #4 | Pressure increases with depth toward the center of the Earth. Where is the greatest pressure? | Inner Core |
| #5 | What layer of the Earth would be the icing if the Earth was a layer cake? | The Crust |
| Rotten to the Core | ||
| #1 | Earth's Inner Core is a dense ball of | solid metal |
| #2 | What molten layer surrounds the inner core? | Outer Core |
| #3 | Earth's magnetic field is created by the movement of the | outer core |
| #4 | What causes the convection currents in the mantle? | Heat from the Core |
| #5 | What part of an egg would the core be? | The Yolk |
| "Having a heat wave" | ||
| #1 | How does heat transfer when you touch a hot pan? | conduction |
| #2 | The transfer of energy through space is... | radiation |
| #3 | Which gives off more heat a Microwave Oven or your breath? | Your breath! Microwaves do not use heat and your breath should be over 90 degrees! |
| #4 | What kind of heat transfer do we protect ourselves from when we wear oven mitts or use pot holders? | conduction |
| #5 | What is the energy that warms your face from the sun? | radiation |
| Like a Lava Lamp | ||
| #1 | Convection currents flow in what layers of the Earth? | Mantle and Outer Core |
| #2 | Heat transfer within a fluid.... | convection |
| #3 | Remove the heat source and convection currents will,,, | eventually stop |
| #4 | Heat is transferred as soft rock flows slowly in cycles in this layer | Mantle |
| #5 | What is the measure of how much mass there is in a volume of a substance? | Density |
| Potpourri | ||
| #1 | A fluid can be either a liquid or a .... | Gas (fluid is a substance that takes the shape of its container) |
| #2 | What two things increase as you go deeper into the center of the Earth? | Temperature and Pressure |
| #3 | What produces seismic waves? | Earthquakes |
| #4 | What kind of rock makes up the oceanic crust? | Basalt |
| #5 | Why are we drilling through Oceanic Crust to get to the mantle instead of Continental Crust? | Oceanic Crust is much thinner. |
| Final Question | |
| What are convection currents and what causes them? | the flow that transfers heat within a fluid is called convection current. The heating and cooling of the fluid, changes in the fluid's density and the force of gravity combine to cause convection currents. |
