Layers of the Earth
By Mr. Lee
Yeah, uh huh, you know what it is
Crust moving ‘cause of plate tectonics
Yeah, mantle’s like plastic
And the cores 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
Thing’s first
The ourtermost layer is called the
Crust, filled with dirt
And rocks and sand, I hope you
Understand
The crust is the layer on top of which
We stand
It’s 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 repeats
Go down to the ocean floor you’ll see
that it is getting
New rock by a process know as
Chorus repeats
Yeah, uh huh, you know what it is
Crust moving ‘cause of plate tectonics
Yeah, mantle’s like plastic
And the cores 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
sea floor spreading
The continents fit together
something 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
Chorus repeats
When the rock breaks, there’s a
crack called a fault
Usually plates are locked up like a
vault
But when stress builds up, the
pressure’s to great
The ground starts shaking because
of an earthquake
Why do plates move, I hope you
heard the lesson
When I said it’s from the heating of
the mantle by convection
The track’s running out, the only
thing missing
The inner core is solid and the
outer core is liquid
Repeat chorus x2
WORK HARD
GET SMART
NO EXCUSES
Yeah, uh huh, you know what it is
Crust moving ‘cause of plate tectonics
Yeah, mantle’s like plastic
And the cores 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

Outer core, inner core, outer core,
inner core
