Calculate the Earth’s volume. Make sure your answer is both in km^3 and in scientific notation. V = 4 /3 x π x r^3 25) Calculate the average density of the Earth. Make sure the answer is in g/cm3 . ρ = m/V  26) The average density of the rocks making up Earth’s crust is 2.7 – 3.0 g/cm3 . Is this range greater than, less than, or equal to (includes) the average density of Earth? 27) What might this (question 26, the average density of the Earth versus the density of the Earth's crust) indicate about the interior composition and density of the Earth?  A. The interior of the Earth is more dense and made of denser material (minerals) than the crust. B. The interior of the Earth less dense and made of less dense material (minerals) than the crust.  C. The interior of the Earth is similar in density to the crust and therefore made of the same materials(minerals) as the crust.

 C. The interior of the Earth is similar in density to the crust and therefore made of the same materials(minerals) as the crust.

Note: The radius value is given in km, therefore your initial volume calculation will be in km³. In the
following questions, you are asked to compare values to those calculated in Table 1. In order to do this,
you must make sure your final density answer is in g/cm³. You will need to convert g/km³ to g/cm³. The
conversion factor for km³ to cm³ is provided below. Also, since we are dealing with very large numbers,
the values for the Earth's mass and volume will be represented using scientific notation.
r= Average radius of Earth
N = 3.141592
V = Volume of Earth = calculated value
m = Mass of Earth = 5.98 x 1027 g
1 km3 = 1 x 1015 cm3
6371 km
