UNIT 6, LESSON 1: EARTH LAYERS & ATMOSPHERE LET’S BUILD OUR EARTH AND THE ATMOSPHERE 1 & 2 Where is earth’s crust? What is the difference between the 1. Read/annotate the oceanic and continental crust? paragraph(s) Crust and Mantle Where is the earth’s mantle? What is a plate? What part of the 2. Answer the questions mantle is below the plates? that go with the 3 Where is the earth’s core? How is the core similar to the mantle? paragraph(s) Core 4 & 5 Where is the troposphere? What are you likely to find there? Name at least 3 things. 3. Show Mrs. Stoddard Troposphere and Stratosphere your answers Where is the stratosphere? Why would the air be warm in the 4. If you get it correct, get stratosphere? Where is the mesosphere? Why do meteors burn in this layer? a piece of your 6 & 7 Mesosphere Where is the thermosphere? Why is it so hot? atmosphere model And Thermosphere 5. Repeat until your 8 Where is the exosphere? Why do some experts ignore the exosphere and think the thermosphere is the outermost layer of Exosphere model is finished! the earth’s atmosphere? CHECK YOUR MODEL! Exosphere

It absorbs x rays and ultraviolet radiation from the sun and mantle converts it into heat. The Thermosphere doesn't feel warm even though it is at up to 2500 C because it is so close to being a vacuum. core Consists of iron-nickel alloy (outer is liquid, exosphere Core 1 inner is solid) 1,793 miles of hot rock that rises then cools and sinks (convection), causes the crust to 2 Mantle thermosphere move (plate tectonics) =earthquake/volcano 3 Crust about 10 miles of rock and loose materials 4 Troposphere most dense, and all weather is in this region mesosphere 5 Stratosphere includes ozone, which absorbs UV from sun 6 Mesosphere meteors burn up in this layer stratosphere 7 Thermosphere satellites exist in this layer 8 Exosphere least dense, upper limit of our atmosphere troposphere crust
