Journey To The Center Of The Earth Density

Name ___________________ Period _____ Journey to the center of the Earth Pretend you are from the distant planet sevenop. You have been assigned to map out the layers, density, and edible materials of the planet Earth and report back to your leader named Villarop. Your report must be accurate or Villarop will surely have your antillops removed. You decide to start with the first layer you encounter and work you way to the center of the Earth. The first layer you encounter is called the Atmosphere It has ________ layers It is the ________dense layer of the earth The atmosphere is composed of ____ % nitrogen ____ % oxygen, and ____% other gases (nothing edible, air fatal to sevenopians) The second layer you encounter is called water Water does not cover Earth's entire surface, but covers approximately ______of it. Water is _______dense than the atmosphere (although water is found in the atmosphere as a gas), but ______dense than crust and interior layers. (large quantities of salt, edible) The third layer you encounter is called crust Crust has ______ types. Oceanic crust and _______________ crust It is ________ and rocky The continental crust is _________ than the oceanic crust. The oceanic crust is only about 7 km thick and considerably _____dense. (nothing edible, too cold) The fourth layer you encounter is called mantle The mantle is divided into ____ regions, the ________ and lower sections. While still solid, the upper part (asthenosphere) is able to flow. The ability of a solid to flow is called________________. It makes up almost ________of Earth's mass (warm gooey center, some edibles) The last layer you encounter is called the core Your ship is specially designed to withstand the intense _____ and ______________ The core makes up nearly _______ of the mass of the earth. It's also made up of ______dense material like Iron and Nickel (preferred meal for sevenopians, but only if it’s warm) The core is divided into two regions, the __________ core and the __________ core. The ____________core is a liquid and the inner core is a____________.
