4. Interior Geology The study of the solid Earth, including the structure and process of what is beneath the rocky surface.

5. Standards Show how interactions among the solid earth, oceans, atmosphere, and organisms have changed the earth system over time. Explain the internal and external energy sources of the earth. Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth's surface at varying time and spatial scales Interior Geology The study of the solid Earth, including the structure and process of what is beneath the rocky surface.

6. What is Geology? Notes Geology - the study of the lithosphere (or geosphere) meaning the “rocky” surface of Earth. (lithos = rocky) Also includes the interior (inside) of the Earth.

7. Geologist- study the processes that create Earth’s features, physical and chemical properties of rock, and natural forces that build up and wear down the land.

8. Constructive forces – forces that build up material into mountains and landmasses. Destructive forces – forces that slowly wear down mountains and all land features.

9. A landmass is a mass of land! A great big landmass is called a continent!

15. Journey to the Center of the Earth

17. Direct Evidence of Earth’s Interior What we can visibly see and collect on the surface of Earth. Includes:

18. Kola Superdeep Borehole 40,000 ft (7.5mi) Built on the Kola peninsula by the Soviet government to break world records. (1970-2007)

19. Temperature and Pressure The deeper you go, the __________ the temperature will be! (After about 20 meters) The deeper you go, the __________ the pressure will be!

20. Temperature and Pressure The deeper you go, the greater (higher) the temperature will be! (After about 20 meters) The deeper you go, the greater (higher) the pressure will be! Write this down!

21. What we have discovered… The center of the Earth contains three distinct layers: the crust, the mantle, and the core. Write this down!

22. The Crust: The First Layer of Earth Is made of both the rocky material on continents and beneath the oceans. Is about 40 km thick under continents and 5 km thick under oceans. Two types of crustal rock: Oceanic crust made of Basalt Continental crust made of Granite Write this down!

23. The crust (5-40 km thick) Write this down!

24. Basalt: dark, dense rock with fine texture. *Also found on the moon! Granite: light, less dense, has large crystals *Diorite is used more to make countertops instead of granite! Write this down!

25. The Mantle 3,000 km thick Area of molten rocks Divided into two parts: lithosphere and asthenosphere Write this down!

26. The crust (5-40 km thick) The Mantle (3,000 km thick) Write this down!

27. Lithosphere- about 100 km thick, includes the entire crust and uppermost part of mantle. Asthenosphere- about 3,000 km thick, soft, semi-liquid material that can bend like plastic. Lithosphere seems to “float” on top. Write this down!

28. Mantle Convection The Core of the Earth is much hotter than the mantle. Material in the mantle rises from the heat below, cools, then falls back down. This forms a convection current! Write this down!

29. The crust (5-40 km thick) The Mantle (3,000 km thick) Write this down!

30. Conclusion Questions 1.Why does pressure increase as you dig deeper? 2.Explain why it is difficult to study the Earth’s interior. 3.Explain why is there convection in the mantle. Copy down diagrams of Earth from page 22-23 into your notebook. Include depth numbers. Write this down!

32. Warm-Up 1/9/14: Describe what happens to both temperature and pressure as you dig deeper into the Earth. As you dig deeper into the Earth, the…

33. The Core Divided into the Inner and Outer Core Write this down!

34. The Core Divided into the Inner and Outer Core Both made of dense iron and nickel. Outer core is liquid, inner core is solid. Write this down!

35. The Core Divided into the Inner and Outer Core Both made of dense iron and nickel. Outer core is liquid, inner core is solid. Spinning liquid outer core around iron inner core is responsible for the Earth’s magnetic field Write this down!

36. Size of the Core Inner core is slightly smaller than the moon!

37. The crust (5-40 km thick) The Mantle (3,000 km thick) Write this down!

53. Warm-Up Review your vocab sheet that you made yesterday (and make sure it is complete!)

54. Option A: EarthShip Design As an Earth Scientist you have been hired to help design a ship that can travel to the center of the Earth, carrying with it some scientific equipment and a team of scientists. On a piece of graph paper, draw a ship designed for Earth travel. Be sure to label important features that allow the ship to function (for example: large “shovel” on front of ship to help it dig through the Earth!). Write the name of your ship design on the top of the paper (along with your name!). On the back, answer the following questions: 1.How will your ship survive the conditions of Earth’s interior? (Temperature and Pressure). 2.What equipment will your ship bring and why? (What is the purpose of your ship?) 3.How is your ship prepared for each individual layer of the Earth? What do you expect to encounter in each layer? (Include Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core)

55. Option B: Whine or Brag Take on the voice of one layer of the Earth, and write a creative paper either “whining” or “bragging” on its behalf. Explain why your layer is the best (brag) or why you wish you were as good as other layers (whine). Include information about size, composition, temperature, and physical properties for each layer of the Earth (including the layer you choose!). Paper should be about one page in length and provide accurate information about each layer.

56. Which of these counts as a fact about the layers? I (the asthenosphere) am better than the lithosphere because I am more flexible! I can bend and move, while he is solid and rigid! I (the asthenosphere) am better than the lithosphere because I can play basketball and the lithosphere can’t!
