Introduction 

Explanation chapter 3 §1

Exercises

Learning goals: 

- You know the layers of the Earth

- You know what a tectonic plate is. 

- You understand the difference between an oceanic and a continental tectonic plate. 

The Earth

- The inner core is solid and very hot (5200-6200 degrees).

- The outer core is liquid. 

- The mantle is the thickest layer and this layer is solid, but can actually move over very long periods of time. 

- The crust is solid.  

Tectonic plates

The movement of the tectonic plates is called plate tectonics. 

Places where two plates meet are called plate boundaries.
