Vocab 1 – Cornell Notes
Lesson 1
Outline
(pp. 14-15)
Sphere- shaped like a ball
Geosphere – solid surface of Earth
Gravity – force that pulls matter towards
Earth
Density – mass in a specific volume
•crust –the brittle, rocky outer layer of the
Earth.
•mantle – the thick middle layer in the solid
part of Earth.
•lithosphere – the solid, outer layer of Earth
that consists of the crust and the rigid
upper part of the mantle
•Asthenosphere – hot, plastic zone in the
upper mantle directly beneath the
lithosphere.
•Core – the dense metallic center of Earth
•Magnetosphere – the outer part of Earth’s
magnetic field that interacts with charged
particles from the sun
2 EARTH SYSTEMS CONCEPT MAP
Directions: use your textbook p. 12 or my website (Journey to the
Center of the Earth) to create a concept map of Earth’s systems.
Make sure to include a picture, description and arrows showing
the interactions between each system.
