Mantle Earth definitions
| # | Definition | Sets |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | the layer of the earth between the crust and the core | 5 sets |
| 2 | consist of lower and upper layer. the lower layer includes the d' and the d" layers. consists of different materials, including iron, magnesium, and calcium. | 3 sets |
| 3 | the thickest layer of the earth and the one that contains the greatest mass of material | 2 sets |
| 4 | dense rock | 2 sets |
| 5 | solid rock, 3+ to 6 gm/cm3; ~1/2 of radius | 1 set |
| 6 | the thickest layer of the earth and the one that contains the greatest mass of material. | 1 set |
| 7 | - 2800 km thick - mostly silicates (rocks containing oxygen and silicon) - neither molten liquid nor solid rock - rock can flow slowly under pressure | 1 set |
| 8 | bd: the layer of hot, solid material between earth's crust and core. pg:85 | 1 set |
| 9 | dense rocks | 1 set |
| 10 | layer of the earth between the crust and the core. the mantle is about 1,800 miles thick and makes up about 85% of the total volume of the earth. | 1 set |
| 11 | the layer of the earth between the crust and the core. | 1 set |
| 12 | a thick layer of rock between the crust and the core, bd: the layer of hot, solid material between earth's crust and core. pg:85 | 1 set |
| 13 | the central part of the earth, consisting of a solid inner core surrounded by a liquid outer core. | 1 set |
| 14 | the change in position of the continents over time is primarily caused by ... | 1 set |
| 15 | the bulk of the earth's mass; a thick layer around the core consisting of minerals rich in o, si, mg, and fe; much denser than the crust; ionic bonds prevail. | 1 set |
| 16 | the liquid/solid layer between the crust and core. the core heats it and causes convection currents which causes the plates of the crust to move | 1 set |
| 17 | mantle material | 1 set |
| 18 | 2,885 km thick, 82% of earth's volume | 1 set |
| 19 | largest in terms of volume 84% volume, 67% mass riggid upper zone-lithosphere tar-like middle zone-asthenosphere rigid lower layer-lower middle | 1 set |
| 20 | ..., the layer of the earth between the crust and the core | 1 set |
| 21 | composed of dense silicate rock that is a solid that acts like a very thick liquid. comprises the greatest volume of the earth | 1 set |
| 22 | scientists study material that pushed through the cracks in the crust in order to learn about the ________, _________, and ___________. | 1 set |
| 23 | the level of the earth under the crust consisting of molten rock | 1 set |
