Earth Structure - Internal Earth Layers
Across
- 5. Layer of the crust that ranges from 30 to 140km and where geological land features such as mountains and volcanoes form.
- 7. Is the quotient obtained when you divide the elevation difference between two points on a topographic map, over the ground distance between the points.
- 8. It is the sphere of Earth made out of the mixture of gases that include oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. It makes possible the exchange of gases between animals and plants.
- 9. It name literaly means "middle earth" in it is a part of the layer where diamonds from due to high pressure and temperatures on carbon atoms.
- 11. It is the sphere of Earth where life can grow and develop under the proper conditions of temperature and pressure.
- 13. It is the approximate height (in meters, or feet) of a position marked with a point on a topographic map
- 14. Layer of the core that is made of solid iron and nickel. Despite being the hottest layer is solid due to large pressure.
- 15. Layer of the crust whih is approximately 8 to 10km deep. It is considered the thinner layer in Earth's structure.
Down
- 1. It is a layer of the Earth found in the mantle that is formed by highly viscuous magma.
- 2. It is the sphere of Earth composed by all the water found in rivers, lakes, lagoons, oceans, glaciers and ice caps.
- 3. Vast area in the center of the Earth that is made out of iron and nickel. Also known as the "nucleus" of Earth.
- 4. Layer of the core that is made out of liquid iron and nickel and spins fast thus generating the electromagnetif field of Earth
- 6. Upper layer of the mantle that it is made of clay-like rock.
- 10. It is the sphere of Earth made out by the rocks, the land and all the minerals found in the soil.
- 12. Lines that appear on topoghraphic maps. They represent elevations above sea level of the geological features portrayed on the map.
