Name _________________________ Earth Science Layers of the Earth Rap - Lyrics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiHRI_Z2Kgs Chorus: Yeah, uh huh, you know what it is Crust moving cause of plate tectonics Yeah, mantle’s like plastic And the core is really dense and metallic Memorize this song and you’ll know everything about the Crust and mantle, crust and mantle, crust and mantle, crust and mantle Moving on down there are two more layers called the Outer core, inner core, outer core, inner core Mr. Lee, science teacher, at it again Sick flow spittin’ that regurgitation Ready to begin so without further ado I’mma hop up on this fresh beat so I can teach you About the layers of the Earth, first things first The outermost layer is the crust filled with dirt And rocks and sand, I hope you understand The crust is the layer on top of which we stand Its made out of rocks, mostly igneous Oceanic crust the densest and the skinniest Sinks below some other crust during subduction Which might result in a volcano and eruption Chorus Go down to the ocean floor you’ll see that it is getting New rock by a process known as sea floor spreading The continents fit together like a puzzle They’re moving so slow like a center in the huddle Used to be a supercontinent, Pangaea Then they moved apart, continental drift, see ya Since they’re always moving there’s a great amount of stress Tension, compression, and shearing will be on the test Pd ________ Name _________________________ Earth Science Chorus When the rock breaks, there’s a crack called a fault Usually plates locked up like a vault But when the stress builds up, the pressures too great The ground starts shaking because of an earthquake Why do plates move? I hope you learned the lesson When I said it’s from the heating of the mantle by convection The tracks running out, the only thing missing The inner core is solid and the outer core is liquid Yeah, uh huh, you know what it is Yeah, uh huh, you know what it is Memorize this song and you’ll know everything about the Crust and mantle, crust and mantle, crust and mantle, crust and mantle Moving on down there are two more layers called the Outer core, inner core, outer core, inner core Chorus Mr. Lee A rap about the layers of the earth, sung to the tune of "Black and Yellow" by Wiz Khalifa.
