The image you've uploaded is a worksheet titled
"Layers of the Earth" from
Superstar Worksheets. It's designed for students to learn about the structure of the Earth by labeling its layers.
Task:
-
Color the diagram (optional, not required for solving).
-
Cut and paste the correct labels into the boxes next to each layer of the Earth.
- The provided labels are:
- Mantle
- Inner Core
- Crust
- Outer Core
---
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let’s analyze the diagram:
The Earth is shown as a cross-section with four distinct layers, from
outermost to innermost:
1.
Outermost layer: This is the thin, outer surface of the Earth — the
Crust.
2.
Next layer inward: A thick layer surrounding the core — the
Mantle.
3.
Then, a liquid layer beneath the mantle — the
Outer Core.
4.
Innermost layer: The solid center — the
Inner Core.
So, matching the layers in order from outside to inside:
| Layer in Diagram | Correct Label |
|------------------|---------------|
| Outermost | Crust |
| Second | Mantle |
| Third | Outer Core |
| Innermost | Inner Core |
---
Final Answer (Labels to Paste):
From
top to bottom (as per the arrows pointing from top to bottom in the diagram):
1.
Crust
2.
Mantle
3.
Outer Core
4.
Inner Core
>
✔ So, you should
cut out the labels and
paste them in this order:
> - Top box:
Crust
> - Second box:
Mantle
> - Third box:
Outer Core
> - Bottom box:
Inner Core
---
Additional Notes:
- The
Crust is the thin, solid outer layer where we live.
- The
Mantle is made of hot, semi-solid rock that flows slowly over time.
- The
Outer Core is molten iron and nickel, responsible for Earth's magnetic field.
- The
Inner Core is solid iron and nickel due to immense pressure, even though it's extremely hot.
This worksheet helps students visualize and remember the Earth’s internal structure!
