the transfer of HEAT by the movement of a FLUID - What is convection?, concevtion occurs in the earth's MANTLE due to heat coming from the CORE. The causes the MANTLE to FLOW because it isn't completely solid. - How does convection occur inside the earth?, differences in TEMPERATURE and DENSITY in a fluid - What causes convection?, the temperature increases as you go down to the center of the earth - As you make a tunnel down to the center of the earth, does the temperature decrease or increase?, Pressure increases - Does pressure increase or decrease as you go to the center of the earth?, (CMC) Crust, Mantle, Core - What are the main layers of the earth's interior?, Layer of rock that forms earth's OUTER skin - What is the crust?, rocks, mountains, soil and water - What is included in the crust?, thin - Is the crust considered thick or thin?, beneath the ocean - Where is the crust the thinnest?, under high mountains - Where is the crust the thickest?, oceanic crust - What is the crust beneath the ocean called?, has mostly DENSE (heavy) rocks like BASALT - oceanic crust, forms the continents, has LESS DENSE rocks like GRANITE - continental crust, has large crystals, not as dense, light in color - granite,
