Name __________________ Activity: Earth’s Relative size 1. Create a table defining the thicknesses of the Earth’s interior from the ESRT and text pg 73.
calculated Layer startingdepth (km) ending depth depth (km)
Crust
Mantle
Outer Core
Inner Core
2. Carry out ratio calculations to create a scale model of the earth using 1cm = 120km.
Show ratio calculations for each layer. Label units.
Crust Mantle Outer Core Inner Core
3. Draw a continuous line on the left side of the paper towards the right to symbolize each layer above. Use a different color for each layer.
a) Clearly label the name of each layer on your diagram
b). Identify each layer as being solid liquid
c) Identify the approximate starting density and ending density for each layer
d) Label the starting /ending temperature and starting/ending pressure ranges for each layer.
4. Make sure each group member’s name appears on the model.
