Use the Layers of the Earth Foldable to take notes

What do these two images tell us about the layers of the Earth?

Temperature increases as depth increases

Look at the information in the graph and table below. What’s the relationship between depth and density/pressure?

Density and Pressure increase as depth increases

Temperature, Density and Pressure increases as depth increases Add this statement to the arrow going down on your foldable.

Which layer of the Earth has the greatest temperature, pressure, and density? Core

The lithosphere (crust and upper mantle) is divided into separate plates which move very slowly in response to the “convecting” part of the mantle.
