Inside The Earth Unit Test Study Guide
1) List Earth’s layers in order from outer most to innermost.
2) List Earth’s layers in order from thinnest to thickest.
3) List Earth’s layers in order from highest temperature to lowest temperature.
4) List Earth’s layers in order from most dense to least dense.
5) For each of Earth’s layers list the main elements that each is composed of.
6) Which of Earth’s layers have humans been able to reach by digging?
7) What forms inside the Earth due to high temperatures?
8) When a very dense tectonic plate collides with a less dense tectonic plate what generally
occurs?
9) As we move downward into the Earth, what differences in temperature, pressure, and density
can we expect?
10) What is the process where very hot material rises to the top of the mantle, cools, then sinks,
reheats, and rises again, constantly repeating the cycle?
