The Solar System consists of the sun and eight* (8) known
planets, as well as other celestial bodies that orbit the sun. The earth is 93 million miles from the sun. *(Pluto was
downgraded from a planet to a “dwarf planet”)

Inside the Earth:Inside the Earth:
• Core: solid metallic center made up of iron & nickel.
• Mantle: soft layer of molten rock about 1800 miles thick.
• Magma: is created when the mantle melts the underside of the crust.
• Crust: thin layer of rock at the earth’s surface.

On and above the Earth:
• Atmosphere: layer of gasses that surround
the earth.
• Lithosphere: the solid rock portion of the earth’s surface.
• Hydrosphere: is made up of the water elements on the earth.
• Biosphere: the part of the earth where plants and animals live

Continental Drift• Dr. Alfred Wegener of Germany, in
1912.
• Stated that the Earth was once a super-continent that divided and slowly drifted apart over millions of years.
• This super-continent was called Pangaea, which means “all earth”.
