- Q10When the Earth was molten (melted) during its formation this type of material did what?Sunk to the middle layer since it was second most denseFloated to the top since it was the least denseSunk to the center (core) because it was most dense30s
- Q11When the Earth was molten (melted) during its formation this type of material did what?Floated to the top since it was the least denseSunk to the center (core) because it was most denseSunk to the middle layer since it was second most dense30s
- Q12When the Earth was molten (melted) during its formation this type of material did what?Floated to the top since it was the least denseSunk to the center (core) because it was most denseSunk to the middle layer since it was second most dense30s
- Q13Each layer of Earth is different because of what reason(s)?Different material it is made of AND different densityDifferent type of material it is made out ofWhether or not the section is radioactive or notDifferent amount of pressure and temperature30s
- Q14When the Earth was forming and molten (melted) it separated out into three layers due to what reason?The more dense materials sunk to the bottom. The least dense materials floated to the topThe crust is made out of the most dense material since we must stand on it.The heavier materials sunk to the core. The lighter materials floated to the top.The core is radioactive. Above the core it is not. This causes a difference in temperature which separated the layers out30s
