Question 1 Heat and pressure What two things increase as you go further and further into the Earth? Check Answer
Question 2 The outer core This layer is made of molten (liquid) iron and nickel. It is also the second hottest layer. What is it? Check Answer
Question 3 The crust This rocky layer is thin compared to the others and floats on top of the mantle. What is it? Check Answer
Question 4 The inner core This layer is made of hot, solid iron and nickel and is shaped like a ball. What is it? Check Answer
Question 5 The mantle This layer is the largest and has a feature known as “plasticity” which allows it to go from a solid to a liquid. Check Answer
Question 6 Convergent boundary This plate boundary occurs when plates move together. What is it? Check Answer
Question 7 Transform boundary This plate boundary occurs when plates slide past one another horizontally. What is it? Check Answer
