This formative will help students identify and describe the Earth's layers and compare their compositions and properties.
Which layer of the Earth is composed mostly of solid iron and nickel?
Which layers of the Earth are solid?
Match each Earth layer with its characteristic.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Inner core | arrow_right_alt | Solid, outermost layer |
Crust | arrow_right_alt | Semi-solid, flows slowly |
Mantle | arrow_right_alt | Liquid, causes magnetic field |
Outer core | arrow_right_alt | Solid, mostly iron |
Categorize the following layers based on their state (solid, liquid, semi-solid).
Crust
Inner core
Outer core
Mantle
Solid
Liquid
Semi-solid
What is the main component of the Earth's crust?
