layers of the moon comparison

1. Layers of the moon and compositions by: Lindsay, Steph, and Lucy

2. The layers of moon CORE: Very heart of the moon. LOWER MANTLE: Asthenosphere, from where the majority of moonquakes emanate. UPPER MANTLE: Lithosphere which is the most rigid part of the mantle. CRUST: Anorthosite crust is the external envelope of the moon.

3. Layers of the earth The Crust Continental Crust Oceanic Crust The Mantle Upper Mantle--Lithosphere Asthenosphere Transition Zone The Lower Mantle D'' The Outer Core The Inner Core

4. Facts If the core has liquid or molten stuff around it, it allows the core to spin and that creates a magnetic field Moon: 153°C: Maximum surface temperature: 123°C: Minimum surface temperature-233°C Most of the plasma and mass are part of the sun Solids are mostly in are inner solar system Gas is in mostly in are outer solar system The first four planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are part of the inner solar system The last four planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are part of the outer solar system
