Earth’s Structure
Now that you have learned about the interior of the Earth, you will need to build a model of Earth's structure. Your model should include the following layers:
- The crust
- The asthenosphere
- The lithosphere
- The mantle
- The outer core
- The inner core
In addition, you should provide information on the model about the composition of each of these layers. Your model should be creative, informative, and accurate. Make sure that your model is clearly-labeled and includes a title. Before you begin, access the Model of Earth's Structure Checklist to make sure that you include all of the items required for full credit. You may need to use resources outside of this course to complete this assignment. If so, please submit a Works Cited document with your assignment submission. If you need assistance, visit the Developmental Module for information on citing any resources that you used.
Options to create your model include the following:
- Utilize household or crafting items to create your model, and then take a picture of it for submission to the assignment’s dropbox.
- Utilize three-dimensional modeling software or a modeling application to create your model, and then submit your work to the assignment's dropbox.
Once you have completed your model, please submit your work to the dropbox.
