1. a. Lithosphere

If we divide the Earth into layers by their composition, then there are three of them, the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the thinnest layer, being on the top, and being solid. The mantle is the second layer, lying between the crust and the core. It is a layer where the temperature and pressure are higher, and the rocks are hot and slow-moving. The core is the bottom layer, in the center of the planet. It is the hottest and has the highest pressure, being the densest of the layers and is composed mostly of iron and in lesser percentage of nickel.

2. b. Crust

The Earth is divided into several layers depending on the layers being solid or liquid. There are five different physical layers, lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core and inner core. The lithosphere and the inner core are the two layers that are solid, thus the layer on top and the layer in the center. The asthenosphere, mesosphere, and outer core are all liquid, though it is a different degree of liquidity, and it is these three layers where the convection currents occur and cause the magnetic field of the Earth, as well as the tectonic movements.

What are the 5 key features of tornado phenomenon?
Assoli18 [71]
The five key features of tornadoes are formation, speed, vacuums, location and dust devils. They usually form in large thunder clouds. Their internal winds begin to whirl forming a funnel. The speed at which the funnel spins can be 400 km/hr making them the fastest winds on earth. The funnel acts like a giant vacuum sucking up debris and dirt as it goes. They usually only last about 15 minutes but can cover over hundreds of kilometers in that time. The primary location of tornadoes is in the United States in the Mid-Western states. If it develops over sea it is called a waterspout with winds up to 80 kph. In deserts where there is not as much water, small sandstorms known as dust devils are produced by whirling winds.

Major Key Fact: A tornado will sound like a roaring train. It is a deafening roar.
