Calculate the percent of Earth’s diameter that each layer makes up. (Remember, in order to calculate %, you must divide - part Row 3: Indicate the elements for each layer.d) Row 4: Indicate the phase of matter for each layer.e) Row 5: Indicate the temperature range ( ◦ F) of each layer. Row Layer Property Crust Mantle Outer Core Inner Core 1 Layer Thickness 30 km 2900 km 2300 km 1200 km 2 % of Earth's Diameter 0.466% 45.1% 31.1% 18.7% 3 Elements granite, basalt peridotite nickel, iron nickel, iron 4 Phase of Matter solid semi solid liquid solid 5 Temperature Range (degrees F) 0-1600 F 1600-4000 F 4000-9000 F 4000-9000 F What are the two types of crust, and what are their properties? What causes the mantle to flow? What is the driving force for tectonic plate movement, and which layer(s) are responsible? Venn Diagram Compare and contrast the outer core and inner core utilizing the Venn Diagram belowBe sure to include at least 3 items in each area Which layer(s) of the Earth have scientists been able to explore? Why have scientists been unable to physically explore all of the layers of the Earth? Can you really dig a hole all the way to China? Justify your answer.
