1. Asthenosphere
a. the liquid layer located between the mantle and the inner
core
2.
Continental crust
b. the inner most solid layer of Earth
3.
Convection currents
the parts of Earth's crust located beneath the ocean that
make up the seafloor
4.
Crust
5.
Density
d. a transition zone beneath the lithosphere that is semi-
fluid, sometimes referred to as the plastic layer
6.
Inner core
e. the hard, rigid outermost layer of Earth
7
Lithosphere
f. all the parts of the Earth's crust that are not beneath the
ocean
8
Mantle
9.
Mesosphere
g the layer that is directly below Earth's crust and is divided
into 3 parts: lithosphere, asthenosphere, and mesosphere
h. the amount of force on a substance
10.
Oceanic crust
1. the solid lower layer of the mantle
11.
Outer core
j. the rigid, solid upper mantle connected to Earth's crust
12
Pressure
ki instrument used to measure earthquake waves
13.
Seismograph
1. the layer of Earth that is split into larger pieces: it floats on
the asthenosphere and moves due to convection currents
14.
Tectonic plates
m. the measure of mass per volume; the number of particles
in a given space
in movement of liquid and gaseous matter in a circular
motion caused by a difference in temperature; warm rises
and cool sinks, causing a circular current
