Step 5: Create a typewritten paper describing your model of Earth’s layers. a) Type several paragraphs describing your “core sample” of Earth’s layers in detail.
i. Explain what a core sample is. Then, tell whether it is currently possible to take a core
sample like the model you’ve created.
ii. Compare and contrast the layers in your model, including the significance of the
colors.
iii. Discuss what it means to create a scale model.
iv. Include a table with the values you determined for each layer.
v. Discuss the relationships of each layer to the others, including depth.
b) Answer the following question in a separate paragraph.
i. How does your “core sample” model of Earth’s layers differ from the actual layers of
the Earth?
c) Make sure your paragraphs include correct sentence structure, punctuation, grammar, and
spelling.
d) Ask your teacher where you should save your work. Your teacher may also have specific
guidelines about the file name you should use.
