The three the layers of earth are the crust, core and mantal. The difference between the oceanic and continental crust is that the oceanic is very thin while the continental crust is thicker. The core is made of denser materials such as iron and is 3000 C. The mantal is solid rocks but there is also a layer of molton rock called magma. This can get up tp 2000 degree celcius.
Alfred Wegener came up with the idea of continental drift. The super contintent that existed over 1 million years ago is Pangaea. Convection currents make the plates move and it involves conitential movement by the movement of the currents is similar beacuse the movement od the continents. Convection current moves the mantal by the water getting hotter and expanding which rises to the sureface. Subduction is when the magma sinks and the plates are dragged towards eachother. Crustal movements could cause an earthquake.
i agree with sydney becuse she has all the same things i do and they all make sense to me

The three layers of the earth are first its the crust, then the mantel and the center is the core. The lithosphere are hard slabs divided into the oceanic and continenal crust. The difference between the oceanic and continenal crust is that the oceanic crust is thin and the continental crust is thick. Also the oceanic crust is beneath the sea and the continenal crust is land above the sea. The core is made of denser material like iron, and it is about 3000 degrees C. The mantel is the area between the core and the crust and it is mostly solid rock. Magma is a layer of molten rock near the core.
A German scientist named Alfred Wegener first came up with the idea of Continental Drift. The super continent that existed over 1 million years ago is Pangaea. convection currents are movements in the mantel causing the land to be able to move. They have to do with Contenintal Drift and Plate Techtonics by they can make landmasses move and the earth crust and plates move. Convection currents cause movement in the earths mantel by when the magma gets hotter it expands and rises. Subduction is when magma sinks and the plates are dragged toward eachother. Crustal movements may cause earthquakes.
The three layers are the crust the mantel and the core.The cotinentalcrust is thicker.The core is made of rock and metals and is 3000 degrees celsius.The mantel is the large middle layer.
continental drift
Alfred wegener made the concept.The super continent was called pangaea.When the magma heats up plates move.If the plates move there could be a uruption

Do not copy and paste!. I will catch you and I will not give you credit. Make sure you know what the lithosphere is
The tree layers of earth are the crust, mantle, and the core. The oceanic and the continental crust are different because the continental crust is thicker. The core is 3000 degrees C. The core is made up of materials such as iron. Alfred Wegener made up an idea of continental drift. Convection currents make the plates move. Convection currents move the mantle by water getting hot and water expanding. Subduction is when magma sinks into the mantle and plates are dragged together.
The three layers of the earth are the cors, the mantle and the crust. The crust is the outside layer of the earth, like the skin of an apple. The mantle is the middle layer, like the pulp of an apple. Lastly, the core is named exactly like an apple core, it is the very inside layer of the earth. The lithosphere is another name for the crust of the eartth, it is divided into oceanic and continental crusts. Oceanic is the part of the earth that is ocean or water, then the continental is the part that is land. The core is the center of the Earht, it is partly made of solids, and the temperatures are really hot, as high as 3000 degrees celcius. The mantle is mostly made of rocks. The mantle is te layer of earth inbetween the crust and core, it also has a small layer of magma that is closest to the core. Magma is molten rock that can be found in the mantle of the Earth, it is like lava from a volcano.
Alfred Wegener came up with the concept of continental drift. Pangaea is the super continent that excisted almost 1 million years ago. Convection currents make the plates move, this is called plate movement . Convection currents is basically the movement of the continents which is called continetial drift. Convection current moves the mantal when the water gets hotter and expands, then it rises to the surface of the Earth. Subduction is when the magma sinks and goes away, then the plates are moved towards eachother. Crustal movements are the cause of earhtquakes.
The parts of the earth are crust, core, and mantel. It is the top of the earthh known as the crust. But the Lithosphere is divided in ocianic and contiental crusts.the tempatures are as high as 2000 celcius. mantale is in the middel of the coe and crust and is the second hotest part. Magma is what the core is made of and it comes from volcanios. its the intermidate zones from the mantel.The continet that existed was called Pangea.it makes the plates move and follow the contiour inteversion.the crustal moves becuase of earthquakes and the move in a pattern.
The layers of earth are the crust, core and mantal. The difference between the oceanic and continental crust is that the oceanic is very thin while the continental crust is thicker. The core is made of stronger things such as iron and is at a temperature 3000 C. The mantal is solid rocks but there is also a layer of molton rock called magma. This can get up tp 2000 degree celcius. Alfred Wegener came up with the idea of continental drift. The super contintent that existed over 1 million years ago is Pangaea. Convection currents make the plates move and it involves conitential movement by the movement of the currents is similar beacuse the movement od the continents.

The crust, the core and the mantle. The lithoshere is slabes at the top part of the mantle. Ocean crust is thin, and continental crust is thicker. Denser materials like iron sank down to form the core, the core is aboout 3000c. The mantle is mostly solid rocks. Magma is layers of molten rock as hot as 2000c.
Alfred Wegener came up with continental drift. Pangaea is the name. Make plates move and the currents is similar beacuse the movement od the continents. Subduction is when magma sinks, the plates are dragged towards each other. Could cause earhquake
Brendan McWilliams
when there are earth quakes that cases the late in the earth to breake and move around and cause new mountins and hill and etc and also they crash to gather that causes earth quakes and forms diffrenet landforms in the earth
Crust, Mantle, and Core. When the crust combines with the top layer of the mantle. Continental is thicker then Oceanic. Iron makes up the core and it is 3000 degrees C. Solid rocks and molten rock form the mantle. Magma is molten rock.
German scientist Alfred Wegener formed this idea of Continental Drift. He argued that todays continents once formed a single landmass, which he named Pangaea. It is possible for the plates to move due to the convection currents in the mantle. The movement of these currents is similar to the movement of convection currents in a beaker of boiling water. Convection currents and plate movements. Subduction is When the magma sinks, the plates are dragged towards each other. Crustal movements might cause title waves.

Crust, core and mantal are the three layers on the inside of the earths surface. Oceanic crust is thin and continental crust is thick. The core of the earth is made of dense material like iron. The mantal is rock, but around the rock is molten magma. So the rock can go over 2100 degrees C. Alfred Wegener came up with the idea of Continental Drift
Earth's Interior
The three layers of the earth are the crust, the mantle and the core. Hard slabs made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle are the lithosphere. The oceanic crust is much thinner than the continental crust. The core is made up of denser materials such as iron and is around 3000C. Thee mantle is the layer of the earth tat is between the core and the crust. Magmais the part of the mantle that is closest to the core so it is hotter.

The three layers of Earth are the core, mantle, and crust. The continental crust is thicker than the oacanic crust.the crust is made of iron and denser materials than the other layers. Solid rock ad molten lava orm the mantle. The man who discoveredn continental drift is Alfred Wegner. Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed over 1,000,000 years ago was separated by tectonic plates shifting. convection currents are what cause the plates to shift. Convection currents make the water get warmer, which makes it expand and rise to the surface. When plates are drawn towards each other, it is called subduction. Subduction is when magma goes deeper below the surface. Earthquakes are caused by movement of the earth's crust.

The 3 layers of the Earth is The crust, core, and the mantal. Together with the top part of the mantle. It formed the hard slabs known as the lithosphere. The Oceanic Crust, or Sima, is a thin floor of deep oceans and is made of a relatively dense rocks, sort of like Basalt. The Continental Crust, or Sial, is far more thicker averaging around 33km and it is composed of relatively light material called granite. The denser materials called iron sank to mnake the core. It is partly solid. Temperatures are very very high, it is about 3000oC. Between the core and the crust is called the mantal it is mostly solid rock but there is also a layer of molten rock called a magma near the coree.

The three layers of the earth are the crust ,mantal ,and core. the diffrence is continental is thicker than the oceanic. the core is made of denser materials like iron and it is 3000 degrees c. the mantel is the layer that holds rock and magma. magma is molded rock and is in the mantel.
alfred wegner came up with it. pangaea splits up into plates. the convection currents are things that let plates to move in the mantle. the pangaea allows the convetion currents to move freely through the mantle. subduction is the heating and rising of the magma repeatingly. the subduction moves plates as it rises.

There are three layers of the Earth called the crust, mantel and the core. These are, the continents are embeded these slabs. The litosphere is divided into continental and oceanic crusts. They are different because the oceanic is the bottom floor of the ocean which is thin and is about 7km thick, made ofr dense rocks like basalt. the continential is about 33km thick and is made of relatively light rock like granite. the core is made of denser materials like iron it is about 3000c it is partly solid. The mantel is mainly solid and is made up of solid rocks and another layer of molten rocks like magma at about 2000c.

Continetal Drift
A scientist named Alfred Wegener came u with contiental drift. The name of the super continent that existed over 1,000,000 years ago is Pangaea. The convection currents are currents in the mantle that are similar to the convection currents in boiling water. It rizes and cools the magmaso it comes up and pushes the plates apart. Subduction is when magma sinksand plates are pulled together. crystal movements could cause an earthquake.
The three layers of the Earth are Crust, Core, and Mantle. The lithospheres are hard slabs. The oceanic crust is thin and made of dense rocks while the continential crust is thicker and made up of lighter material. Partly solid and made of denser materials such as iron, and it is 3000 degrees Celcius. A mantle is the layer between the core and crust that is made of mainly rock but has a layer of magma. Magma is molten rock.
Alfred Wegener came up with the concept of the Continential Drift. The name of the continent that existed over 1 million years ago is called Pangaea. Convection currents make the plates move. Convection current is the movement of the continents which is Continential Drift. When the water gets hotter and expands, the water rises to the surface and moves the mantal. Subduction is when the magma sinks and the plates drag towards each other. Crustal movements cause earthquakes.

The three layers of the earth are the core, crust and mantel. The lithosphere is the stuff that is near the mantal. It is in the form of hard slabs. The oceanic crust is much thinner than the conitnental crust. The core is made out of things like iron. When the earth was forming, heavier things like that sunk to the middle. It is about 3000 degrees celcius in the core. The mantal is mainly sold rocks and magma between the crust and the core. Magma is basically like molten rock that is really hot. It's like 2000 degrees.
The three layers of the Earth are the crust, core, and the mantle. The difference between the two crusts is that the oceanic crust is way thiner than the continental crust. The core is made of denser materials like iron and the temperature is 3000 degrees celcius. The mantal is is solid rock buther there is also a layer of some molton rock somewhere called magma. The temperature can rise up to 2000 degrees celcius.
A German scientist named Alfred Wegener came up with the idea of Continential Drift. About a million years ago, a land called Pangaea had exisited. Convection currents force the plates to move and usually involves continential movement. Convection current moves the mantal by making the water even hotter and expands which eventually rises to the surface. Subduction is when the magma is sinking and the plates are being dragged towards one another. Crystal movements are the cause of earthquakes.
-Emily Heckman-
(Earth's Interior)- The 3 layers of the Earth are: the core, mantle and the crust.Oceanic Crust- is the floor of the deep oceans, very thin, about 7km thick. Continental Crust- Is much thicker, about 33km thick. The core is made out of pure, and solid iron, it is about 3000 degrees celsius. The Mantle is made out of rocks, a Magma, is a layer of molten rock and much closer to the core, reaches about 2000 degrees celsius.
(Continental Drift)- Alfred Wegener who came up with Continental Drift. The super continent was Pangaea(Greek for: all land). Convection Currents are similar to a pot of boiling water. Magma sinks, and then the plates are put together.
The three layers of earth is called the crust, core and the mantal. The difference between oceanic and continental crust is oceanic is a very thin layer and the continental crust is a very thick layer. The core is made of denser materials and it is 3000 degress celcius. The mantle is made up of alot of solid rocks, they can get up to 2000 degress celcius.
The person that came of with continetal drift was Alfred Wegener. Pangaua is the super continent that existed over 1 million years ago. Convection currents make the plates move. Convection currents moves the mantel by the water getting hotter. Seduction is when the magma sinks and the plates are dragged towards each other. Crustel movements could cause an earthquake.
the three layers of the earth are the crust, core and the mantal.the differance between ociaic and continental is that ocianic is thiner than conteental. the core is 3000 C and is ade of iron. the mantal is made up of two main materials magma and soid rock and the mantel can get to 2000 C.
Continental drift was created by Alfred Wagner. Pangea was what our earth was called over a million years ago. the plates in the earth move because of covection currents. This causes eathquaes to happen. Conviction currents move the mantal by heating up water and making it expand which pushes the water up to the surface. Subduction is when magma sinks and the plates i the earth are dragged towards eachother. a crustal movement is an earthquake.
Ryan Bussard
Core, Mantle, and the Crust are all parts of our very own earth.
When The center became molten, and the convection currents devolped as the lighter compounds tended to rise towards the surface forming the brittle crust. together with the top part of the mantle, it formed the hard slabs known as the lithosphere.Oceanic crust is only 7km thick and the contenital crust is 33km thick which is way thicker than oceanic crust. the denser materialssuch as iron sank to form the core and it is 3000 degreess celesies.Between the core and the crust, the zones form the mantle, which is mainly solid rocks but there is also a layer of molten rock called magma nearer the core. Temperatures are high, at about 2000 degrees clecies.
Alred Wegner was the first. Pangaea It broke into pieces due to the weaknesses in the earth's crust as they were made up of less dense materials, which drifted centimeter by centimeter over millions of years until they arrived at where they are now. It is possible for the plates to move due to the convection currents in the mantle. The movement of these currents is similar to the movement of convection currents in a beaker of boiling water. When the magma sinks, the plates are dragged towards each other. This is the process of subduction. The repeated heating and rising of the magma sets up continuous convection currents in the mantle, causing the plates to move.

The three layers of the earth are crust core and mantel The difference between oceanic and continentel crust is continental crust is much thicker. THe core is made of denser materials like iron and is 3000 degrees Celcius. Mantel is mainly solid rock but there is also megma. Megma is molten rock near the core. Scientist might study earths interior because it is important to know what is inside of our earth for example if we are diging through a mine we need to know that megma is in it because we dont want the diggers to burn.
A german scientist came up with the concept of continental drift his name was Alfred Wegenerd. THe name of the super continent that existed over one million years ago is Pangaea. Conventional currents are similar to the convitentional currrents in a beaker of boiling water. THe plates can move due to coventional currents in the mantel. It causes movement in the mantel because it acts like the example of water with megma near to the core. It expands and then rises. THe meaning of subduction is when the megma sinks the plates are dragged torward eachother. Crustal movements might cause

Crust, Mantle and Core are the three layers of the earth. Lithosphere is the soild outer shell of the Earth, which is composed of the Earths crust and soild outermost layer of the mantle. The lithosphere lies above the asthenosphere,it is broken up into plates. The difference is Oceanic crust,(the floor of the deep oceans) is thin, about 7km thick, and made of relatively dense rocks like basalt. Continental crust is much thicker, averaging 33km, and is made of light material like granite. The denser materials such as iron sank to form the core, it is partly soild. Temperatures are extremely high, about 3000 degrees celesies. The mantle is mainly soild rocks but there is also a layer of molton rock which is called magma, the temperatures are about 2000 degrees celesies.
Alfred Wegener came up with the concept of Continental drift.
Pangaena is the name of the super continent, its greek for "all lands". The continent was broken intop smaller pieces due to the weakness of the Earth's crust as they were made of less dense material. The convection currents is the movement of the plates due to movement in the mantle.
More to come Later.
The three layers of the Earth are The Crust, Mantle, and Core. The Lithosphere is the brittle crust and Mantle coming together forming slabs that make the Lithosphere. The oceanic and continential Crust is the ocean floor that is about 7km. thick and makes dence rocks. The Core is a part of a solid that is 3000 and is the center of the Earth. The mantle is the part of Earth that is mostly rock but parts of magma. Magma is molten rock that is near the core and temps. reach 2000.
The first person to come up with this idea was Alfred Wegner. The name for the super continent was Pangaea. Convecion currents are in the mantle they help the cicle of movment in the Earth. It causes movment in the mantle by cicleing the magma arond the Earth. More to come later
The three Layers of the earth is...
It starts with the inner layer, it is very hot it is called the core. The next layer is called the mantel. The third and final layer is called the crust. The lithosphere is the outer part of the mantal, consisting of the crust and upper mantal. The difference between th Oceanic crust and the Contental crust is that the floor of the Oceanic crust is 7km and is made by basalt. Contenintal crust is almost 5 times thicker, it is 33km. It is made of lighter matrial like granite. The core is made of iron and is as hot as 3000 degrees F. The mantale has mostley just rocks. Magma is just molten rock.
Continental Drift
Alfred Wegener thought of the term Coninental Drift.The name of that coninent was Pangaea. The Convection currents aloowed the drift to take place. It pushes the continents.The repeated heating and rising of the magma sets up continuous convection currents in the mantle is subduction. Its causes plates to move.

The three layers concist of the crust,(the outer edge)mantle,(just under the crust)and the core.(the very center of the earth). The difference between oceanic and the continental crust is the continental crust is thicker. The earth's core is maid of very dence materials such as iron. This can get up to temperatures of about 3000 degease celcius. The mantle is maid of molten rocks and can get up to temperatures of about 2000 degrease celcus. Magma is molten rock.
earths interior questions:
the earth is made up of three layers crust,mantle, and core the lithosphere are hard slabs that is made up of oceanic and contiental crust. the core is made up of iron sank and it can get to as hot as 3000 celcius the mantle is between the core and the crust. and magma is a layer made up of molten rock.
continetal drift questions:
alfred weigner came up with the concept of continetal drift the name of the continet that existed 1 million years ago is pangaea when water heats up magma rises closer to the core when it expands it hits the plates and they move. magma keeps heating up which effects the mantle sob duction is when objects are forced together when magma heats up it causes crustal movement
-Dylan humbert
The three layers of earth are the crust, core and mantal. The diffrence between oceanic and continential crust is thicker. The core is made of denser materials like iron and is 3000 c. The mantal is solid rocks but there ia also layer of molton rock. Magma. Mgma can get up to 2000degrees C.
Alfred wegener came up with the idea with continential drift. The super continent that existed over a million years ago is Pangaea. Convection currents make the plates move. It involves conitential movement by movement of currents ins similar because the movement of the continents. Convection current moves the mantal by the water getting hotter and expanding. Whichrises to the surface. Subduction is the magma sinking and the plates dragging towards each other. Crustal movements can cause a earthquake.
The 3 layers are the crust, the matle, and the core. The lithospere is on the top of the mantle. Oceanic is made up of water and the Conteinental is made up of granite mostly. The core is made up of iron and it is about 3000 degrees Celsius. Magma is molten rock near the core of the earth.
Alfred Wegener came up with the idea of Contiental Drift. Pangaea was the super contienent 1 million years ago. Covection currents are plates moveing the Earth around which created the 7 contienents. The water boils at the mantle which causes it to move. Subduction is the process of magam sinking. This might cause the plates to move again.
The three the layers of earth are the crust, core and mantal. continental crust is more thick. The core is made of iron. The mantal is solid rocks but there is also a layer of rock called magma. Alfred Wegener came up with the idea of continental drift.The super contintent is Pangaea.Convection currents make the plates move and involves conitential movement. Subduction is when the magma sinks and the plates are dragged towards eachother. Crustal movements could cause an earthquake.
With the Earth there are three different layers like a fruit. The outside layer is called the crust then moving in you find the mantel then the core. The lithosphere are slabs on the earths surface that are created when the crust[surface] of the earth is pushed together. The core of the earth is 3000 degrees Celsius which gives so much heat that the heat is shot up to the air vent thus creating an active volcano. Alfers Wegner was the first to discover continental drift. The name of the large land mass 1 millin years ago was called the Pangea. The thing that happend was that over tons of years the land mass brock apart by earthquaks and erosion and many other things. The reason the mantal moves is because it boils the water makeing it change. Sometimes crustal movements cause many natual desasters earthquaks sunamies etc...
The layers of the earth is the crust the core and manteil. the crust movements could cause big and little earthquakes.

The three layers are the crust, the core and the mantle. The lithosphere is the hard slabs in the top of the mantle layer. The oceanic crust is the floor of the sea oceans which is made of dense rocks like basalt. The continental crust is made up of a lighter and thicker layer of material such as granite. The denser materials like iron sank to form the core and it is 3000 degrees celcius. Magma is the molten rock from the mantle and is 2000 degrees celcius.
The person who came up with the concept of continentaldrift is Alfred Wegener. The name of the super continent is called Pangaea. They are the movements of the magma heating up and moving the plates apart. They cause the continents to move across the earth. Subduction is when the magma sinks and the plates are dragged towards each other. They mightcause tidal waves and earthquakes.
-The three the layers of earth are the crust the core and the mantal
-The difference between the oceanic and continental crust is the oceanic is thin. While the continental crust is thick.
-The core is made of denser materials like iron and it is 3000 celcius.
-the core is the hottest spot from what i was told in th 5th grade.
-The mantal is solid rocks there is a layer of molton rock called magma. This can get up to 2000 degree celcius.
- a scientist name alfred wegener came up with the continental drift. the super continent existed over 1 million years ago which is named pangaea.
- convection currents make the plates move in a conitential movement
-convention current move the mantal by water which is getting hotter and expands and rises to the surface
The crust, mantle, and the core are the three layers of earth. The top part of the mantle is the lithsosphere, it is made up of hot slabs. The continetal crust is bigger than the oceanic crust and is composed of relativaly light matierial such as granite. The core is made up of denser matierials such as iron and it is partly solid, temperatures are extremly hot, it is about 3,000 degrees celceus. the mantle is between the crust and core and it is mainly made out of solid rocks. There is also a layer of molten rock called magma nearer the core.
The three layers of Earth are the Core, Mantle, and Crust. The Lithosphere is hard slabs formed by the Earth's mantle. The oceanic crust is less thick and contains more dense rocks; the Continental crust is thicker and made of lighter rocks. The core is made of Iron and can reach up to 3000 degrees Celcius. The mantle is in between the core and crust, it is made up of hard rocks. Magma is molten rock.
A German scientist Alfred Wegener created the idea of Continental Drift. The super continent was called Pangaea. Convection Current is when hot water rises and cool water sinks. Subduction is when plates drag towards each other. It may cause plates to move.
The three layers of the earth are the crust, the mantle and the core. The lithosphere is divided into oceanic and continental crusts. Oceanic crust (sima), is the floor of deep oceans. It's about 7km thick. It's made of dense rocks such as basalt. Continental crust (sial) is around 33km, made of relatively light material like granite. The core of the earth is made of dense materials like iron. The core has an average temperature of 3,000 oC. The mantle is between the core and the crust. The mantle is made of mainly solid rock and some hot magma. Temperatures average 2,000 oC. A scientist might study the Earth's interior because it's interesting.
The three layers of the earth are the mantel crust and core. The lithospher; hard slabs formed from molten compounds that rose to the earth's surface. The continents are on these. This is divided into the oceanic and continental crust. The oceanic crust is the ocean floor. The continental crust is the land we stand on. The core is in the center of the earth and is partly solid (3000C degrees). The mantle is between the crust and the core. there is a layer of molten rock near the core but everything else is solid rock. Magma is the layer of molten rock near the core. Scientists might study the earth's interior because they might want to figure out what we are standing on and whats under us.
Alfred Wagner first came up with the idea of Continental Drift. The super continent was Pangaea.
-more to come-
The first person to come up with the idea of continental drift was a German scientist named Alfred Wegener. He named the massive amount of land that was around about 1 million years ago pangea which means "all land".
Convection currents is the movement or the drift of the plates. Convection currents are simular to continental drift by moving the plates, the convecton current works by the magma near the core rises and expands. The magma that has spread out beneath the Earth's plates then causeing them to drift away from one another. The plates spread out and then move apart causing the process of ocean floors to start spreading. Subducion is when the magma sinks and begins to move the plates toward each other. Convection currents in the mantel causes plates to move, this is what crustal mocements may cause they could also cause things like earthquakes.
- Michael Van Schoik
the three layers of earth is crust core,mantal. the diffrents of oceanic and continetal crust is that the oceanic is very thin while the continental crust is thicker. the caore is made up of denser materials such as iron and is 3000 c. lava under the ground is called magma.this can get up to 2000 degrees celsiuss. taylor roberts
The three layers of the earth are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The lithosphere is a fancy name for the crust but it forms from the hardening mantle or molten rock. The difference is that the continental crust is not under water, but the oceanic crust is. The earths core is mostly iron but the temperature is about 3000 degrees fahrenheit. The german scientist Alford Wagener thought that pangea was seperated by the movement of the earth's crust rather than a huge explosion. Convection currents are what their name is, and they are moving around in the mantle. The currents of magma come up through the crust(mostly under water) and pile up, but the new magma that is coming up forces the crust apart also moving the continents. The rocks heat up and start to move and then find their way out of the mantle and onto the crust.
It is when cold magma sinks to the ocean floor and the plates are dragged together. Crust movements cause earthquakes, title waves, and many more.
Sydney is right the continetal crust is thicker than the oceanic crust which makes it a lot easier for the magma to break through the crust in the ocean.
The 3 layers of the earth is the crust , core , and mantal. The difference between the oceanic and continental crust is the oceanic is very thin while the continental is thicker. The core is made of denser material such as iron 3000 C. The mantal is solid rocks but there is a layer of molton rock called magma. This can get up to 2000 C

the three layers are crust,mantle,and core.the lithosphere are slabs divided into the oceanic and continental crust.the oceanic crust is thin and the continental crust is thick.
I agree with Kilgore,Sydney.
Crust, mantle, and core. Hard slabs. Oceanic crust is thin with dence material and continential drift is thick and is made of light material. The mantle is a earth layer to be specific the middle or second layer. Magma is really molten rock. Alfred Wegener came up with the idea of contidential drift. Pangaea is the continent. Convection currents is what causes plate movement.
I agree with Evan about the layers and how Alfered Wegener dicovered continential drift.
the three layers of earth are the core, crust, mantle.the lithosphere is the mantle and the crust combined.the oceacinc is thin and the continental crust is much thicker.the core is made out of iron sank.it is very hot.it is a layer of the earth.magma is molten rock.
alfred wegener came up with the concept of continentinal drift.the super content is called panagea. the covenction currents make the plates move.they are the same because of the currents.the heat rises to the top.

crust,core,and mantle. the lithosphere is the crust and top part of the mantal.continental crust is thicker and made of granite.The Core is made of iron 3000C.The mantle is basicly made of solid rock but some parts made of magma. Magma is molten rock.
Alfred Wegener.Pangaea is the continent.Convection Currents are the movement of the mantle.it causes plate movment.the magma heats an rises and seperates the plates.Subduction is when the magma sinks and the plates are dragged toward eachother.Crustal Movements could cause earthquakes.
the 3 layers of the Earth are the core, mantle, and the crust. A lithosphere is the core was molten and came together with the mantle which formed hard slabs known as lithospheres. Oceanic crust is thin and only 7kn. Made of dense rocks like basalt. Conntinental Crust is thick and 33 km. This is made of relatively light material such as granite. The core is made of dense material such as iron that sunk. It is 3,000 degrees celsius. The magma is a layer of molten rock near the core that is usually 2,00 degress celsius. Mantle is a layer between the crust and core, the intermediate zones of these two form the mantle. The person that thought of this is a German scientist named Alfred Wegener. The name of the super continent is Pangaea. Convection currents a part in the mantle. The movement of these currents is similar to the nmovement of a beaker of boioling water and this is how the plates move. Subduction is the porocess in which one plate is pushed downwards beneath another plate into the underlying when plates move toward eachother.
The three layers of the earth are the core, mantle and crust. The lithosphere is hard slabs of light compounds or a thin crust, put the crust on top of the mantle and BOOM you have the lithosphere. the difference between oceanic and continental crust is that oceanic crust is found in the ocean (duh) and is only about 7km thick and is made of dense rocks, while continental crust is found on land and is much thicker (33km) and is made of granite. The core is made of iron, and is 3000 degrees Celsius. The mantle is between the core and crust and is mostly solid rocks, but near the core it is molten rock called magma. The 1st person to come up with the continental drift theory was Alfred Wegener. The name of the continent was Pangaea. Convection currents are movements in the earth’s mantle, and they cause the plates to move due to the currents, kind of like water boiling, these movements may have caused the continental drift and may have made the plates move.
The three layers of the earth is the crust(the thinnest of the three), the core(the hottest layer),and the mantle (the layer in between the core and the crust). Oceanic crust- Thin,made of relatively dense rocks like basalt.Continental crust- Thicker,composed of relatively light material such as granite. The core is made up of denser materials such as iron sank to form the core. Mantle-is solid rocks but there is also a layer of molton rock called magma.
Alfred Wegener. Pangaea.Convection currents make the plates move and it involves conitential movement by the movement of the currents is similar beacuse the movement of the continents.Convection currents move the matal by when the magma gets hotter it expands and rises. Subduction- when the magma sinks and the plates are dragged towards each other.an earthquake
Alfred Wegener. Pangaea. A current of magma that moves the plates, when plates move, so does the continents. When magma levels lower and plates get closer towards each other. Crustal movements may cause earthquakes, and if underwater, Tsunamis
@ athony:
wow the crust is hot! 2000 degrees celcious!
The lithosphere is divided into oceanic and continential crust. The oceanic crust is thin 7km thick. The continental drift is much thicker. The denser material such as iron sank to form a core. the mantle is made of magma. Alfred wagner made this idea of con tinential drift he thinks that the continents came together to form a super continet he called pangeaea.

The layers of earth are the crust, core and mantal. The difference between the oceanic and continental crust is that the oceanic is very thin while the continental crust is very thick. The core is made of stronger things such as iron. The mantal is solid rocks but there is also a layer of molton rock called magma. Alfred Wegener came up with the idea of continental drift. i think its The super contintent that existed over 1 million years ago is Pangaea. Convection currents make the plates move and it involves conitential movement by the movement of the currents is similar beacuse the movement od the continents. Convection current moves the mantal by the water getting hotter and expanding that rises to the sureface. Subduction is wen the magma sinks and the plates are dragged towards eachother whitch movements could make a earthquake.
The crust, mantle,and the core. When the center of the earth heated up the center, molten lava, and convection currents developed lighter compounds tended to rise torwards the
surface forming the brittle crust.
Together with the top part of the mantle formed hard slabs known as lithosphere. Oceanic crust, the floor of the deep oceans is thin about 7km. thick, and made of relatively dense rocks like basalt.
Continental crust is much thicker, averagring 33km. and is light like granite. The core is made of made of materials like iron. 3000 degreese celcius. The mantle is made of solid rocks and magma.
Alfred Wagener. Pangaea. Plate movement.
i agree with hailey the crust is super hot it is 2000 degrees
the earth has three layers the crust the mantal and the core.the difference is the oceanic is thiner and the continental is thicker the core is very hot and made of iron. there is also a layer of molten rock called magama.

there are three layers of the earth. the crust, the core, and the mantle. the core is made of dense materials like iron. the mantle is made of solid rock but there is also another layer of rock called magma.yhe magma gets up to 2000 degrees celcius.
the guy who created the idea of continental drift was named Alfred Wagner.there was a super continent that existed over a million years ago and it was called pangea.
the three layers of earth are crust mantle and the core. the ocean crust is thiner than the fattie land crust. the mantle is mostly solid rock and gets up to about 2000 degrees C. the core is more of a liquid material and can get up to about 3000 degrees C.
The levels are Crust, Core, Mantal.
The differnece between oceanic and contentical crust is the oceanic crust is thin while the cintinetial crust is thick.the core is made of denser material like iron and is 3000c.the mantel is solid rock.this can get up to 2000 degrees C.

Alfred Wegener came up with the concept of contintal drift. pangia is the name of the super continent. the convection currents is what helps move the continents. it moves the mantle but heating the water and it rises to the surface.Subduction is when the magma sinks and the plates are dragged towards eachother. curstel movement might cause an earthquake
I agree with Rachel and Sydney becaus they both said the sames things.
The three layers of Earth are the core, mantle and crust. The difference between the oceanic and continental crust is that the continental crust is thick while oceanic is a lot thinner. The core is made of thick materials like iron and is about 3000 degrees C. The mantle is between the crust and the core. It is mostly made of solid rock but also includes magma. Magma is molton rock that can get up to 2000 degrees C.
The person who first came up with the idea of Continental Drift is named Alfred Wagner. Pangea is the name of the super continent that existed over 1 million years ago. Convection Currents take place in the mantle. The movements cause the plates to move. This is related to Continental Drift and Plate movement because Plate movement is caused by the Convection Currents. It is related to Continental Drift because when the plates move, the continents change a little too. Convection currents move the mantle by the water rising in tempeture and expanding which causes the mantle to move. Subduction is when the magma sinks and the plates are dragged towards each other. Crustal movements could cause an earthquake or a volcano.
The crust on the earth is the very outside you would see on a map.The mantel is in the middle of earth. The core is the last of the three layers, the center of the earth. the difference is the oceanic crust is much thicker than continental. The core is molten. The mantle is made of hot slabs. Magma is molten rock.
A german scintist named Alfred Wegner. Pangaea isthe super continent. It similar to the movement in a beaker of boiling wateer. Heat expands and rises to the surface. Reepeated heating and rising of magma. It could cause the plates to move.
I agree with Sydney and Rachel. I wonder what caused Alfred Wagner to think about Continental Drift. People back then must have thought they were crazy. If only he knew how important he is today...
I agree with Kylie H. the denser materals such as iron sank to form the core it is partly soild, Ifind that intressing.
Earth's Interior
The 3 layers of the earth are the crust, mantle and core.The lithosphere is the upper mantle mixed with the lower crust. The oceaic crust is very thin but the continental crust is thicker. The core is made of liquid iron and nickle is around 3000 degrees celsius. The mantle is made of molten rock and solid rock. Magma is molten rock that is deep beneath the earth.
Continental Drift
Alfred Wegener came up with continental drift. Pangea is the name of the super continent is Pangea. Convection currents make the plates move and it involves conitental movement by the movement of the currents. Convection current moves the mantle by the water getting hotter and expanding which rises to the surface. Subduction is when the magma sinks and the plates are dragged towards each other. Crustal movements might cause an earthquake.
The 3 layers of the earth is the crust, core and the mantal.
The difference between the oceanic and continental crust is a continental crust is lighter, granitic. Oceanic crust is basaltic. Continental crust is thicker tha a oceanic crust.
The core is made of iron and some nickel and sulfur and nickel.
The temperature is about 6700 degrees.
The mantle is the layer between the crust and core.

The three layers of earth are mantal crust and core.The continental crust is much thicker than the oceanic crust. Continental at 34km and oceanic at 7km.The core is made of solid rock and molten rock called magma.It is about 200 degrees.
The three layers off the Earth are the the crust on top mantle in the middle and the core at the centure of the Earth. The lithospere is the solid part of the crust and outer mantle.The difference between the oceanic and continental crust is the continental crust is a lot thicker that the oceanic
austin papner
The three layers of the earth are crust, mantle, and core. The lithsophere is a layer of rock sabs were the continets are embeded. The difference between the oceanic and cotinental crust is that the oceanic is alot thiner than the continental crust. The core is 3000 C and is made of iron. A place between the core and crust which is made of solid rock and some magma. Magma is molten rock that reaches 2000 C.
The man how came up with continental drift is a German scientist named Alfred Wagner. Pangaea is the name of the super continet that exsisted 100 million years ago. It's possible for plates to move due to convection currents in the mantle. Water that is heated expands and rises to the surface. The magma nerer the core expands and rises. Suduction is when magma sinks, the pates are then drug toward each other. Crustal movement could cause a earthquake.
To Ian Mushrush,
Ian were is your section about about continental drift?
the three layers of earth are core, crust and, mantle. lithosphere is another word for mantle and it formed the hard slabs. the difference between oceanic and continental is oceanic is thiner than continental and continental is granite and oceanic is basalt. the core is made of iron and it is extremaly high temperatures such as 3000 C. mantle is mainly sooild rocks but there is also a layer of molten rock called magma nearer the core. temperatures at about 2000 C.
A german Alfred wegener thought of the idea continental drift. the super continent the existed millions of years ago was called pangaea. Convection currents a part in the mantle. The movement of these currents is similar to the movement of a beaker of boiling water and this is how the plates move. subduction is when magma melts, and the plates are draged towards eachother. the crustal mpovement causes earthquakes.
the three layers of the eath are the crust mantle and the core but there are iner and outer mantles the lithosphere is the large plates of land. the diffrence between oceanic and continential is oceanic crust is thinner and contintntial is thicker the core is made up of lots of metals such as iron and more denseer metals the core is 3100 celcius the mantle is made up of soild rock and molten rock
the first person to get the idea of continential drift was alfred wegner the name of the super continent was pangea the convection currents are the waves of the plates which move the continents 2cm a year i causes movement in the mantle because some plates are being streached out or being pushed up making volcanos subduction is where the magma sinkls in to the core and the plates are pushed closer to each other crustial movement could eventually cause earthquakes to ocour
The 3 layers of the earth are the crust the mantle and the core. Continental crust is lighter than oceanic crust. Continentsl crust is granitic. Oceanic crust is basaltic. Lithoshpere is the sloid rocky layer covering the entire surface of the planet, composed of the crust and the uppermost mantle. The earths core is liquid iron nickle alloy. The earths mantle is a layer of compressed heated rock. Magma is liquid rock with gases and minerals. Alfred Wegner was the first to come up with the idea of continental drift. Pangea is the super continent that exsisted over 1 million years ago. The convection currents act like conveyer belts moving heat from the earths interior upward and cold material downward in a big loop. Subduction is the process of the plates moving tword and away each other. Crustal plate movement might cause pressure in the earths core.
I agree with Anthony because the plates do move in patterns.
The three the layers of earth are the crust, core and mantal. The oceanic is very thin and the continate crust is thick
the three layers crust matle and core the core is 30000celcius between oceanonic is very thin
The three layers of earth are mantle,core,crust.The difference between oceanic and continental crust is that the oceanic is very thin and the continental crust is very thick.The core is made up of denser materials like, iron and is 3000 C.The mantle is solid rock but there is also a layer of molton rock, called magma.This magma can get up to 2000 degrees celcius.
Alfred Wagner is the one that came up wit this idea of conttinental drift.The super that exsisted over 1 million years ago which is called Pangaea.Convection currents make the plates move and it involves the continental movement by the movement of the currents is very similar b/c the movement of the continents. Covection current moves the mantel by the water getting hotter and expanding and makes it rise to the surface.Subduction is when the magma sinks and the plates collide together.Crustal movement could cause an earthquake.
