The scientist Alfred Wegener came up with ContinenHe argued that todays continents once formed a single landmass, which he named Pangaea (Greek for "all land").tal Drift. 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 person that came up with continen was scientist Alfred Wegener!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he was very smart, he new alot about science, oh yea i now alot, lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the three layers of the core mantle and the crust.the lithosphere is hard slabs of the mantle. the difference between oceanic crust to continental crust is continental crust is thicker than oceanic. magma hot rocks
the three layers of the earth are the crust, the core, and the mantle. The brittle crust together with the top part of the mantle formed the hard slabs known as lithosphere. The lithosphere is divided into oceanic and continental crusts. The oceanic floor of the deep oceans is thin about 7km thick, and made of relatively dense rocks like basalt. The contineantal crust is is much thicker about 33km and is composed of relatively light material such as granite. The core is made of iron and is about 3000C. The mantle is mainly solid rocks but has a layer of molton rock called the magma. Scientist might study on earths interior because if there into earth and what it is made of they would enjoy it.
the early earth seemed to have heated up, the center became molten, and convection currents developed 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 lithosphere.
Oceanic crust (sima), the floor of the deep oceans, is thin, about 7km thick, and made of relatively dense rocks like basalt. Continental crust (sial) is much thicker, averaging 33km, and is composed of relatively light material such as granite.
Between the core and the crust, the intermediate zones form the mantle, which is mainly solid rocks but there is also a layer of molten rock called magma nearer the core.
The 3 layers of the earth are crust core mantle. a lithoshpere is basically the crust ocean crust is thin and has a lot of dence rocks and contiental crust is thick and has light materials the core is made up of lron from ocean rocks and its about 3000 degrees celceus and mangna is rock melted down mantle
Earth's Interior:
The three layers of the earth are the Crust,mantle, and core. The core was molten and with the top part of the mantle forming hard slabs called lithosphere. Oceanic crust is much thinner averaging at about 7km and made of relatively dense material such as basalt. While continental crust is much thicker averaging at about 33km thick and is made of lighter material such as Granite.v Denser materials sank to form the core; it is partly solid. The core averages at 3000 degrees Celsius. The mantle is the intermediate zone between the crust and core and it averages at about 2000 degrees Celsius. It is mostly solid rock, but there is also molten rock. Magma is moten rock. Scientists might study this because it might tell us more about what is in store for Eartlh in the future.
Continental Drift:
Alfred Wegener was the first to form the idea about the Continental Drift. Pangaea is the super continent that existed 1 million years ago. Convection currents are movements in the mantle that are similar to those of a beaker of boiling water. They have to do with the Continental Drift because it is very possible that the plates were caused to move because of that. Water is heated and the core expands causing the mantle to move. Subduction is the continuous process of the water heating and expanding the core causing convection currents. Crustal movements can cause the plates to move and cause volcanoes or earthquakes?
@taylor you seem very exited that you know about him lol but how do you know about him i've never eard of him
The lithosphere is the outer layer,or crust. The oceanic crust is quite thin, while the continental crust is thick. The core's magma is approximately 9,000-10,000 degrees farenheit.Magma is a mixture of molten rock. Pangeae was the ancient continent. Subduction is the process by which magma is heated and cooled in such a way that the continental plates are dragged towards each other. This may present a problem because unstable structures may fall (no pun intended) victimm of the moving plates.i.e. cali succeeds the USA if you know what i mean.
alfred wegener came up with the theory of pangaea whch is a greek word for all land
The three layers of the earth are crust,mantle and core. The lithosphere is the solid rocky layer covering the entire surface of the planet,composed of the crust and the hard upper most mantle and reacts to stresses as a britle solid. The core is made of solid iron and nicklel and it is 3,000 DEGREES C. the mantle is a layer of solid rock and magma. What is magma molten rock.
The scientist Alfred Wegener came up with ContinenHe argued that todays continents once formed a single landmass, which he named Pangaea (Greek for "all land").tal Drift. convection currents Convection currents in the hot, solid rock of the Earth's mantle help to drive the movement of the rigid plates making up the Earth's surface. A subducton is A geologic process in which one edge of one crustal plate is forced below the edge of another.
The 3 layers of the earth are the Crust, Mantle and the core. The litosphere is a soild part of the earth consisting of the crust and outer mantle. Oceanic and Continental crust are the 2 parts that make up the litosphere. The core is mainly made of iron that sank down to the core and it is 3000 degrees celcus. The mantel is the middle layer of the earth. Magma is molten rock in the earths crust.
Crust,Mantel,Core. The Oceanic crust is 7km thick and relatively dense rocks like basalt.The Continental crust is 33km and has relatively light material such as granite. The continents are embedded in these slabs. The lithosphere is divided into oceanic and continental crusts. The core is about 3000 degreesC. Magma is Molten rock
Alfred Wegener was the one who came up with it
The three layers are crust, mantle anddd core.
The lithosphere is the outer layer of earth. The oceanic crust is much thiner.
The core is made of solid iron and i think nickle too the other part called the inner core is made of liquid(i think), it is about 3000C. the mantle is a layer of solid rock and magma.
Magama is molten rock.
Alfred Wegener came up with the concept.
Pangaea- Greek for 'all land"
Convetion currents is water that is heated expands and rises to the surface of the beaker. Similarly, the magma nearer the core expands and rises. -according to the website.it can cause plates to move b/c of the currents in the matle.
it happens like boiling water in a beaker.
Suduction is the process of the plates moving together.
It may cause plate movement
the three layers are the crust mantle and core. oceanic crust is 7km thick and continental crust is 33km thick.the core is magma and some iron witch is 3000c. the mantle is the part imbetween the core and crust witch is mostly solid rock. magma is a runny liquid that can get up to 2000c. Alfred wegner
oh i have more... the three main layers of the earth are cust, core, and the mantle. The lithosphere is the hard slabs that help make the mantle.the core is made of iron, partly solid and is about 3000 degreese, but thats all i got to answere cause we gotta go
to core two so pease!!!
1.)The 3 layers are the core, the crust and the mantle.
2.)With the top part of the mantle and the core it formed the hard slabs known as lithosphere.
3.)The diffrence between oceanic and continental crust is oceanic crust is the floor of the deep oceans, it is thin, about 7km thick, and made of dense rocks like basalt.The continental crust is is much thicker, being 33km, and is composed of light material such as granite.
4.)The denser materials such as iron sank to form the core and it is 3000 degrees celcius.
5>.) mantle is right in the center between the crust and the core.
Magma is a layer of malten rock near the core.
Who first came up with the concept of Continental Drift? What is the name of the super continent that existed over 1 million years ago? What are convection currents and what do they have to do with Continental Drift and Plate movement? How does convection currents cause movement in the mantle? What is subduction? What might crustal movements cause?
1.)Alfred Wegener came up with continential drift.
2.)Pangaea is the continent that existed over 1,000,000 years ago.
3.) The plates move in the mantle. Continental Drift and Plate movement both happen in a beaker of boiling water.
4.)
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 3 layers of the easrth are the crust, the mantel, and the core. A lithospere is when the core was molten and came togather with the mantel which formed hard slabs. The difference between oceanic and continental crusts is that oceanic is thin, is about 7km. thick, and made up of relatively dense rocks like basalt and continental crust is thick, and 33km. thick, and lastley it is made up of relatively light material such as granite. the core is denser material such as iron. Between the core and the crust, teh intermadiate zones form the mantel. A layer a molten rock near the core is the magma, ti is about 3ooo degrees C. The first man that came up with the concept of continental drift is a german scientist named Alfred Wegener.
The 3 layers of the earth are the crust,mantle, and the core.The c ore is the middle of the earth,and it's 3000 degrees celcius. The mantle is the middle layer of the earth.magma is almost like liquid fire.

scientist alfred wegener came up with the continen. pangaea existed over 1 million years ago. it is possible for plates to move due to convetion in the mantel. the movement is similar to the movement of convection current in a breaker of boiling.
the three layers of the earth are crust, mantle, and core. the lithosphere is hard parts of mantle.
The three layers of the earth are the crust, the mantle and the core. Compounds heated up and with the top of the mantle they both made slabs of lithosphere.
The difference between the Oceanic and Continental crust is the Oceanic crust is on the deeepest floors in the oceans and it is very thin, it is about 7km thin and madde of dense rocks like basalt. The Continental crust is thicker than the Oceanic crust it is an adverage of 33km. It also is made of a little material like granite.
the super contaneit name is pangaea wich means all land named by a scientist named Alfred wegener. the layers of earth are called the crust,mantle and core.when magma sinks the plates are dragged toward each other

The crust,the mantle and the core. The lithospere is the top part of the mantle. the differnce is the thickness and the type of rock(oceanic has dense rocks,continental has light rocks).The core is made of iron and is about 3000 degrees celcius. The mantle is the layer between the crust and the core. Magma is molten rock. scientists might study earths interior so that they can see what it taks to sustain life on another planet or so they know where things survive on earth are.
Alfred wegener came up with the concept of continental drift. The name of the land mass was Pangea. A convection current is magma heating,expanding and rising. they drag continents away from each other.
the 3 lyers of earth are crust,mantal and core.the difrance is ocianic is thinner and continental is thiker.the earths core is made out of iron. it is about 3000centigrate.the mantal is the layer between core and crust.magma is molten rock below ground. if it was above grond it wold be called lava.
the three types of layers in the earth is the crust,core and the mantel.The lithosphere is divided into oceanic and continental crusts.Oceanic crust the floor of the deep oceans, is thin, about 7km thick, and made of relatively dense rocks. Continental crust is much thicker, averaging 33km, and is composed of relatively light material such as granite.
The denser materials such as iron sank to form the core. It is partly solid. Temperatures are extremely high, at about 3000oC.

The three layers of the earth are, the crust, mantle, and core. The lithosphere are hard slabs of rocks formed from the conevection currents and the top part of the mantle. The continents are embeded in these slabs. It is divided into two catagories, oceaninc, and continental crusts. The difference between the two are that the oceanic crust is about 7km thick, and consists of dense rocks such as basalt. The continental crust is much thicker, around 33km thick. It consists of lighter rocks such as granite. The core is slightly solid and is the center of the earth, it is around 3000 degrees celsius. The mantle is between the core and the crust it is mainly solid rock but there is a layer of molten rocks, which is magma.
The German scientist Alfred Wegener formed the idea of the Continental Drift.The name of the super continent is Pangaea. Convection currents are currents that cause plates to move in the mantle, their movements are similar to that of a convection current in a beaker of boiling water. It is what causes the Continental Drift. The convection currents cause movement by causing the magma near the core in the mantle to heat up and rise to the top. Subduction is the process in which magma sinks and plates are brought closer together. Crustal movements may cause earthquakes, volcanos, tsunamis, and all the stuff in those catagories.
the earth is made up of the thin outermost layer called the crust, the innermost part called the core, and the part in between them called the mantle.
early earth seemed to have heated up, the center became molten, and convection currents developed as the lighter compounds tended to rise towards the surface forming the brittle crusttop part of the mantleit formed the hard slabs known as lithosphere.

Anthony,erb
German scientist Alfred Wegener formed this idea of Continental Drift.The pangaea lived over 1 million years.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.
Earths Interior. The three layers of the earth are Crust,Core and the mantel. The difference is that Continental crust is much thiker than Oceanic. The core is made out of iron and is mostly 3000 degrees celcius. The Mantle is a layer mostly made out of rocks. Magma is a Part closer to the core that stays about 2000 degrees celcius.
Continental Drift. The person who came up with continental drift is a scientist named Alfred Wegener. The name of the super continent that excisted over a million years ago is Pangea. The convection currents are things that move things in the mantlle. The share moving things with the Plate movements. The currents cause movement in the mantle beacause it gets bigger and bigger and that makes it expand. Subduction is reapeated heating of the Magma. Crustal movements can cause Something to happen thats not good.
The three layers of Earth are the crust, core, and the mantle. The litosphere are hard slabs that continents are embedded in. The Oceanic crust is thin and 7km thick and its the floor of oceans unlike the continental crust which is thick, and is about 33km thick. The Core is made up of denser materials like iron. It is about 3000 degrees celsius. The mantle is in between the core and crust, which is mainly solid rocks.

the core, the crust, mantle.The oceanic crust is 33ml deep and the continental crust is much deeper. The lithosphere is the stuff that dvieds the oceanic and the continental crust.the core is 3000 degrees celeces it is made of iron slank.a mantle is soild rocks. magma is molten rock about 2000 dgresse celese. they might study this because to figure out what the earth is made of or how long ago the volcanos erupted.

Alfred Wegener came up with continential drift.
Pangaea is the continent that existed over 1,000,000 years ago.
The plates move in the mantle. Continental Drift and Plate movement both happen in a beaker of boiling water.
Crustal movements can cause the plates to move in the earth and cause volcanoes or earthquakes to erupt.

Alfred Wegener first came up with the concept of Continental Drift.
The name of the super continent that existed over 1 million years ago is Pangaea.
Convection currents are movements in the mantle. They have to do with Continental Drift and Plate Movement because they are probably what cause them. They cause movement in the mantle by heating up magma that rises and then spreads out which causes plates to move apart.
Subduction is when magma sinks and the plates are dragged towards each other.
Crustal Movements might cause the plates to move.
Also the scientists may study this stuff to see when volcanos may eurupt and earthquakes will happen.
The Three Layers of earth are the crust, mantle and core. The Lithosphere is the top part of the mantle. The Oacianic crust is thin and about 7km, and the continental crust is thick and about 33km. The core is made of mostly iron and is extremely hot at about 3000c. The mantle is mostly solid rocks but there is also a layer of magma nearer the core, it is still very hot there at 2000c. Magma is a mix of molten rock.
Continental Drift
Alfred Wegener came up with Continental Drift. Pangaea was the super continent that existed 1 million years ago. Continental currents move like boiling water, which moves the plates.

Alfred Wegener Was The First To Come Up With The Idea About The Continental Drift.
The Name Of The Super Continent That Existed Over 1 Millon Years Ago Is Pangaea.
Covection Currents Movements In The Mantle. They Have To Do With The Continental Drift Because It Might Be The Reason That The Plates Were Caused To Move.
Subduction Is the Water Heating And Expanding The Core Causing Convection Currents.
Crustal Movements Are Able Tp Cause The Plates To Move And Cause Volcanoes Or Earthquakes.
The three Layers of Earth is Crust, Mantle and Core. (Part 2) Magma is Lava from A Volcano. The Mantle is the middle Layer of the Earth. The Core is the Middle of the Earth. The Crust is the Outer Layer. The lithosphere is divided into The Bottom of the Ocean Floor and continental crusts.
FINISHING
The name of the super continent is called Pangaea.Conventual Currents is a pat in the mantle, the movement of these currents is similar to the movement of convection currents and a beaker of boiling water is how the plates move. Subduction is the process in which the plate is pushed downward beneath another plate into the underlying when plates move toward each other.
Earth's Interior:
The earth is made up of the thin outermost layer called the crust, the innermost part called the core, and the part in between them called the mantle.
The core was molten with the top part of the mantle, it formed the hard slabs known as lithosphere.
Oceanic crust, is the floor of the deep oceans. It is thin, about 7km thick, and made of relatively dense rocks like basalt. Continental crust is much thicker, averaging 33km, and is composed of relatively light material such as granite.
The core is made from iron and is partly solid. Temperatures are extremely high, at about 3000 degrees Celsius.
The mantle is mainly solid rocks but there is also a layer of molten rock called magma.
Magma is a layer of molten rock near the core.
Scientist might study earth's interior because, it will help them understand the earth better.
Continental Drift:
Alfred Wegener formed this idea of Continental Drift.
Pangaea is the name of the super continent that existed over 1 million years ago.
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.
The convection currents cause movement in the mantle by the magma heating up and cooling, moving the plates.
Subduction is when the magma sinks, the plates are dragged towards each other.
I think crustal movements might cause the plates to move creating earthquakes, mountains or volcanoes.
1. The three layers of the earth are the Crust,mantle, and core. lithosphere is hardened slabs of molten core.
2. continental crust is alot thicker than oceanic. averaging at about 33km thick, made of light material called Granite. Oceanic crust is thin at average about 7km. it is made of dense material like basalt.
3. The core averages at 3000 degrees Celsius. Outer core - predominately liquid iron and nickel.
Inner core - predominately solid iron and nickel.
4. the mantle is the place between the crust and core. it is about 2000 degrees Celsius. It is composed of mainly solid rock, but molten rock also.
5. Magma is simply just melted rock.
6. Scientists might study to earth's interior to find out how to earth was made, and how the core and things werecreated and how this might effect earth in the future.
7. Alfred Wegener was the first to come up with his idea about the Continental Drift. he said that todays continents used to be a single landmass.
8. he named the super continent that existed a million years ago Pangaea, which is greek for 'all land'.
9. Convection currents are when there are movements in the mantle, kind of like a cup of boiling water.
10. convection curretns have to do with the Continental Drift because it's very possible that the plates were caused to move all because of tham.
11. convection currents cause movemnts in the mantle by heating the water and the core expands, causing the mantle to move arond. 12. Subduction is the never ending process of the water heating and expanding the core, which causing convection currents to happen.
13. Crustal movements might cause the plates in the earth to move.
@Kassidy
The crustal movements cause the plates to move. Which can then lead to earthquakes and volcanoes erupting
Core,mantle,crust.Maga is lava rock.Mantle is bewteen core and crust.
@Anna
nice.You are right.
The 3 thing that made of the earth are; the crust, the mantle, and the core.
The layer of the earth are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The lithosphere is a hard slab. The Oceanic crust is thin, about 7km thick, and made of relatively dense rocks. The Continental crust is much thicker, averaging 33km, and is relatively light material. The core is 3,000'C. The core is made of dense material such as iron.
The mantle is mainly solid rocks. Magma is a layer of molten rock near the core.
Continential Drift
A German scientist named Alfred Wegener He formed a single landmass, which he named Pangaea. The magma near the core expands and rises, spreads out under the plate which drags the plates along and moves them away from eachother.
the three layers of the earth are crust mantle and the core. the lithosphere is fromed by hard slabes. the diference between oceanic and continentalis that oceanic is thiner and the continental is a thicker layer
i really agree with you austin some body smart must have figer this out.
The three layers of earth are core, crust and the mantle. The lithosphere is the top part of the mantle which forms the lithosphere. the core is 2000c hot. the mantleis the core and the crust form the mantle. Magma is solid rocks with a layer of molten rock.
Mantle, Crust, and Core are the three layers of the earth.
The core was molten and with the top part of the mantle forming hard slabs called lithosphere.
The oceanic crust is thin, while the continental crust is thick.
The core is made of solid iron and nicklel and it is 3,000 degrees C.
The mantle is the middle layer of the earth.
Magma is molten rock.
Alfred Wegner first came up with the concept of Continental Drift.
The super continent was called Pangaea.
Convection currents are movements in the mantle that are similar to those of a beaker of boiling water.
Subduction is the process by which magma is heated and cooled in such a way that the continental plates are dragged towards each other.
Crustal movements may cause earthquakes.

the 3 layers of earth are crust, mantle, core. Oceanic crust (sima), the floor of the deep oceans, is thin, about 7km thick, and made of relatively dense rocks like basalt. Continental crust (sial) is much thicker, averaging 33km, and is composed of relatively light material such as granite.
crust mantle core.hard slabs. Ocianic crusts are lower than continental crusts. Magma it's about 2000 degrees C. the middle layer. lava in the earth.so they can understand the earth.
crust mantel core.hard slabs of the mantel. Continental is thicker. Iron and it is 30000 degrees celsius. THe mantel is the second layer of the earth. Magma is a type of liquid rock thats in the mantel. A scientist might study earths interier because it's something they enjoy learning about.
The top layer of the Earth is the crust, the second layer is the mantl, and the middle layer is called the core. The core is made of Iron and nickel and about 3000 dgrees celcius. Oceanic crust is at the sea floor, and it is less dense than the Continental Crust.
The first person tocome up with continental drift was Alfred Wegner. Pangea is the super continent. Movement of the plates can cause volcanoes and earthquakes.
Wegnar. Pangea. When the magma in the earth goes farther down the plate move closer together is sudutcion
@ Bonnie
I didnt get the part about Convection currents and subduction. I found out because of your post. Thanks.
@Schirmer, Brandon
I totally agree with you you had everything right.
Aferd wengner had the idea that all the contenints were once together and that plate tectonics moved them apart this is callrd the contenental drift. this is cause when plates shift and push each other and the mantal currents to move them around
@ jake kresser i didnt know that the lisosphere was the crust of the ocean thats cool jake
The three layers of the earth our the mantle crust and core. The crust and the top part of the mantle. Oceanic crust is thinner than continental crust. Realitivly light matierial granite. The mantle is 2000 degrees farinheght maily solid rocks. Magma is lava before it erupts. Alfred wagner came up with continential drift. Pangea. Conventional currents occur in the mantle which allows the plates in the crust to move simaler to a beaker of boiling water. qWhen magma sinks and the plates our moved closer to eachother. subduction.
@schirmer,Brandon
What about earths interior?
Kylie Gill
the three layers of earths interior are crust, mantel and the core.the lihosphere is hard slabs of mantel.The diffence between oceani and continental is that the continental crust is thiker and the oceanic is thin. Magma is liquid rocks.The mantel is below the crust.
@ monica
i agree with you about the three layers.

sam keethler-
to me the middle of the earth is made of fire.the other core is calld the lithusphear. and the last lair is calld manttl.
subduction wich is were the plates or plate tectonics are moved just like a beaker of boiling water so when thes plats move th continents move to that is subduction
the three layers of the core mantle and the crust. lithosphere is hard slabs of the mantle. the difference between oceanic crust to continental crust is continental crust is thicker than oceanic.
scientist Alfred Wegener formed this idea of Continental Drift.pangaea whch is a greek word for all land.
Earth interior: the three layers of the earth are the mantle, crust and core(s). The difference between oceanic and continental crust is that in the oceanic crust the floor of the deep oceans is thin, about 7km thick, and made of relatively dense rocks like basalt. The continental crust is much thicker, averaging 33km, and is composed of relatively light material such as granite. The earth's core is made up of iron and can get to about 3000oC!!
continental drift: the person who first came up with the idea of continental drift was Alfred Wegener. The name of the super continent was Pangea. Convection currents currents is similar to the movement of convection currents are similar to a beaker of boiling water. That causes movment because the magma get heated. When the magma get nearer the core expands and rises. When the magma sinks, the plates are dragged towards each other. That is the process of subduction.
@ anybody
i noticed that in the selection it says ocianis crust is formed of basalt. in a different blog i noticed how mt.etna erupted and left basalt. could that be how some of the crust was formed??
