HOW DO MOVEMENTS OF THE CRUST


CHANGE EARTH?
Question 1

How does Earth’s interior shape its surface?​


 Magma can flow onto earth’s surface as lava, where it hardens to
form new crust.
Question 2

 Largest portion of Earth’s interior


Mantel
 Made of molten metal
Outer Core
 Made of solid iron and nickel
Inner Core
 Thin, rigid rock layer
Crust
Crust

 Examples of different kinds of crusts


Bread crust

 Core is still the central part of the earth, but it has two parts.
Question 3

 ​ ou can learn different things from these two diagrams


Y
of Earth’s layers. Explain the difference.
 One shows the earth’s layers to scale and the other
shows the difference in the thickness of the crust.
Question 4: Do the Math!
In the text, find the rate at which North America and Europe are moving awa
from each other. In 15 years, about how much farther apart will they be than
they are today?​

15 years x (…) = (…)mm?

 15 years x 19mm = 285mm


Question 5
​ hat can you tell by comparing the shapes of the continents with the shapes
W
of Earth’s plates?​
 They are similar in shape, but the continents do not consist of
whole plates. Most plates contain both continental and oceanic
