2. As you move from Crust to the Core:
Use HOTTER, COOLER, DENSER, or LESS DENSE for each comparison/contrast fill-in.
1. What happens to temperature and density as you move from Crust to the Core?
As you move from Crust to the Core:
- The temperature increases
- The density increases
- The pressure increases
- They all increase

3. Cooler and less dense Hotter and more dense Cooler and less dense
Use HOTTER, COOLER, DENSER, or LESS DENSE for each comparison/contrast fill-in.
Cooler and less dense
