Earth's Layers

1. The thick layer of hot rock beneath the crust.
3. The force pushing down on materials deep inside Earth.
5. The movement of heat through rising and sinking material in the mantle that can push magma upward; when it reaches the surface and cools, new rock forms.
7. Large plates that make up Earth’s surface whose movement and interaction result in volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain ranges.
11. The reason Earth’s layers are separated based on how heavy materials are.
12. The solid, hottest part at the center of Earth.
13. The two main metals found in Earth’s core.
14. The parts of Earth found from the surface to the center.

1. The invisible force around Earth created by movement in the outer core that protects the planet.
2. The thinnest outer layer of Earth where we live.
4. What something is made of; different Earth layers have different materials.
6. Openings in Earth’s crust where magma, ash, and gases erupt.
8. The liquid metal layer of the Earth.
9. Magma that reaches Earth’s surface.
10. Melted rock found beneath Earth’s surface.
