- C50 - 70 miles
- D50 - 60 miles
5How thick is the outer core and what does it generate?
- Ait is 1400 miles thick and generates our magnetic field
- BIt is 1400 miles thick and generates the earthquakes of the Earth.
- Cit is 1300 miles thick and generates the rotation of the Earth
- DIt is 1400 miles thick and generates iron/Nickel or iron/silicone
6What are the theories of the tectonic plates? Choose all that apply.
- AThe Lithosphere floats on the plastic Aesthenosphere.
- BThere are 7 major plates, 7 medium sized plates, and a dozen smaller plates.
