drag the words into the correct boxes

the is solid and made of iron under intense heat and pressure.
the is liquid, made of iron, nickel and sulfur and creates earths magnetic field.
the is divided into an upper and lower portion with solid regions and softer, more malleable rock.
the is divided into continental and oceanic forms; surrounds the planet and contains earths surface features.
the is solid, contains crust and uppermost mantle, and is broken into huge slabs called plates.
the is located in the upper portion of the mantle where rock is malleable allowing for convection currents to occur.

inner core, outer core, asthenosphere, mantle, lithosphere, crust

Explanation:

Identify layers by physical state and composition

  • The solid, metallic layer under intense heat and pressure is the inner core.
  • The liquid metallic layer that generates Earth's magnetic field is the outer core.
  • The layer divided into upper and lower portions with solid and malleable rock is the mantle.

Identify layers by mechanical properties and surface features

  • The outermost layer divided into continental and oceanic forms is the crust.
  • The rigid outer layer containing the crust and uppermost mantle, broken into tectonic plates, is the lithosphere.
  • The malleable upper mantle layer where convection currents occur is the asthenosphere.
