Earths Layers
There are 4 main layers of the Earth
There is also other layers of the Earth

Crust
The crust is the layer we
live on
The crust is the thinnest
layer
The crust is the shell of the
earth

Mantle
Thickest layer
Liquid magma
Molten rock
-Hot dense rock
1,600 4,000 degrees
1,800 miles thick

Outer Core
Nickel
Iron
Magma like liquid
Surrounds Inner Core
4000-5000 degrees Celsius
2200 km thick
1800 miles beneath the
crust

Inner Core
Hottest layer
1250 km thick
Second smallest layer of the Earth
Solid ball
Nickel
Iron
5000-6000 degrees Celsius
Outer Core causing it to turn into
liquid magma
Solid ball made of metal.

Convection Currents
No natural disasters
No tectonic plates
Caused by the very hot
material at the deepest
part of the mantle
Moves the crust

Tsunamis are caused by under
water earth earthquakes that
make huge waves that go and hit
shore
They are also caused by volcanic
eruptions
The under water earthquakes are
caused when seafloor angrily
deform.

powerful earthquake
underwater

large amount of water to
the surface creating giant
waves the waves are the
tsunamis
Tsunamis are caused by
sudden bothered that
diagonally shows the water
column


How do tsunamis form?
Tsunamis are mostly caused
by earthquakes
Tsunamis can also be
caused by volcanoes,
landslides, mudslides, and
other ocean disturbances
When a earthquake erupts,
there is lots of energy that
builds up

Deadly wave
Big ocean wave

How do we know when a tsunami is
coming?
Scientists put instruments
on the sea floor to detect
when a tsunami is coming
There is a siren for 15 min.
Wave goes back
