Put the layers of the Earth in order. (As if you were drilling to the center)
Outer Core
Inner Core
Mantle
Lithosphere
Asthenosphere
Why are the rocky planets closer to the sun?
rocks are more dense, and therefore stay closer
gases are more dense, and therefore move away
suns solar wind pushed the majority of gas to the outer planets
planets move and shift over time
Nebular hypothesis explains:
why planets lie in the same plane
why planets spin in the same direction
why gas giants are nearest the sun
why rocky planets are nearest the sun
why stars spin the same direction as the planets
Put the items in order of most dense (at the top) to least dense (at the bottom).

bottle cap
nut
styrofoam peanut

If the Earth were an apple, what part would the crust be?
the juicy part
the skin
core

Asthenosphere affects your daily life, because it is what the tectonic plates sit upon.

How does this directly affect your experience on our planet?
plates moving on this layer causes earthquakes
it doesn't
we drill down to this layer and pull minerals and rocks out to make things
humans use this layer for heating their homes
We rely on the Lithosphere for everything. Food, minerals, materials, etc.
True
False
