Layers of the Earth Rap – Lyrics
Yeah, uh huh, you know what it is
Crust and mantle, crust and mantle, crust and mantle, crust and mantle
Yeah, uh huh, you know what it is
Crust and mantle, crust and mantle, crust and mantle, crust and mantle
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’ma 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
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
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
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
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
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
