1.- Complete this text with the words below.
Densities, Crust, Radius, depth, Core, earthquakes, composition, Mantle, wave,
geosphere, thicknesses.
The ………………………... is the solid part of the Earth. Its temperature increases with
……………… It has a …………….. of 6370km.
Scientists know what its interior is like analysing seismic…………. from………………...
It is divided into three layers of different …………………., …………….. and …………..:
1.- ………………..
2.- ………………..
3.- ………………...

2.- Complete the table below about the types of crusts:

Oceanic crust, 10 to 80 km, basaltic rocks, continents and continetal shelf, continental
crust, 5 to 15 km, granitic rocks, seadbed.

Types of crust Thickness Types of rocks Places when it is.

3.- Match core or mantle with these characteristics:

1.__________ It is a huge, hot, metallic sphere with two zones.
2.__________It is about 2900km thick.
3.__________It is denser than the crust and solid.
4.__________The outer layer is 5100km deep. It is liquid due to high pressure and
temperature (4000ºC).
5.__________It consists of the upper layer and lower layer, which have different densities.
6.__________There are convection currents in this zone because hot molten material
rises to surface and sinks again when it cools.
7.__________It is formed by a rock called peridotites.
8.__________Only there are convection currents in this outer layer.
9.__________The inner layer is 6372km deep. It is solid, denser and hotter than the outer
layer (6000 ºC).
10.-_________ Asthenosphere take part of this layer.

4.- Complete this text about characteristics of mineral.

Natural, Inorganic, combined, crystalline, Magnetite, gold, composition, ores, solid, fixed,

Minerals are _________ and _____________ substances formed by________ processes.

They have a _______ chemical ___________ and a __________ structure.
Some of them consist of single chemical element, like _________or silver.
The majority, like quartz, consist of several chemical elements _____________.
The minerals that contain metals are called _____ . _______ and heamatite are iron ores.

5.- Match the different properties with its layers:

Layers: Properties:
1.-Atmosphere ___ There are condensed water vapour (clouds) and movement of air
(wind).
2.- Hydrosphere ___It is a good solvent of gases, minerals, organic compounds, etc.
___It can absorb a lot of heat and its temperature rises slowly.
___It contains the gases we need to live (oxygen and carbon dioxide).
___Ice floats in liquid water, which allows life beneath its surface.
___It filters dangerous sun radiation (gamma rays, X-rays and
ultraviolet rays).
6.- A.- Nombra los tres tipos de rocas que hay en la Tierra:

greenhouse effect, life, vapour, acid rain, gases, global warming wind, ozone layer, ultraviolet,
radiation,

The atmosphere allows ………….on the Earth to exist because:

It filters dangerous sun ……………...(gamma rays, X-rays and …………………...rays).
It contains the……………. we need to live (oxygen and carbon dioxide).
There are condensed water …………….. (clouds) and movement of air (……………...).
Negative effects of human activity:
The dangerous ……………………... is formed when, toxic oxides and sulfur of pollution, react with
water vapour.
CFCs are gases of aerosols, fridges, air conditioners that destroy …………………….(O3). This
protects us of ultraviolet rays.
The increase Carbon dioxide by pollution gases cause:
The ………………...: Rise of the temperature of Earth.
………………………..: Change of our climate (poles to melt and sea levels rise).
