Layers of the Earth
Across
- 3. Thickest layer inside the Earth between the core and the crust; made of silicon
- 6. Lightest, least dense, outermost rock layer; made of oxygen and silicon
- 7. Structural layers of Earth defined on the basis of how materials act
- 8. The region of the mantle beneath the lithosphere and asthenosphere, but above outer core; made of magnesium; high pressure
- 11. The quality of being easily shaped or molded
- 12. The innermost layer of the Earth; solid and believed to be made of iron and nickel; very hot
Down
- 1. The central region of the Earth; made of nickel and iron
- 2. Structural layers of the Earth defined by the materials from which they are made
- 4. The solid and rigid outer layer of the Earth consisting of the crust and the solid portion of the upper mantle; between atmosphere and asthenosphere
- 5. Having the qualities of both a solid and a liquid; exceptionally thick substance
- 9. Thick, fluid layer above solid inner core and below mantle; made of nickel and iron
- 10. The somewhat fluid portion of the mantle upon which the lithosphere is located
