Experiment In class


Today Mrs Wells showed us a experiment in a big bucket, I saw the red colour rise to the top
and then she added the green colour and it was merging into the red side and it looked like
after a volcanic eruptions. The red was rising because mrs Wells put hot water under the bucket
and that caused the red colour to rise and spread.The green was trying to come
to the red side because Mrs Wells put the green colour at cold side and so the red side left some space
while it was rising so that’s how the green started to rise and spread the same way as the red.

WALT: Describe the layers of earth

The layer in the very top is named the Crust and the Crust is made with land and water.Crust is 8 km thick under water and 32 km thick under the continents crust.
Below the Crust is Mantel and that would be the thickest layer of 2,900 km . This layer is also hard and  its like hot rocks.
Below that layer is Outer Core,its 2,300 km thick and is full of solid nickel and iron. 
The last layer is Inner Core and its 1,250 km thick and its the hottest layer and its like the sun.
