The Layers of the Earth!

Earth Layers The Earth is divided into four main layers. *Inner Core *Outer Core *Mantle *Crust

The Crust * The Earth’s crust is like the skin of an apple. *The crust makes up 1% of the Earth. *Solid, rocky, Contains both oceanic crust and continental. Top part of the lithospheric plates.

The Mantle layer below the crust. largest layer. divided into two regions: the upper and lower sections

The Mantle The upper mantle is solid Part of lithospheric plates The lower mantle is liquid and plastic-like and is called the asthenosphere. made of mostly the rock Periodite, 650 km thick greater than 1300 degrees Celsius.

There are a dozen large lithospheric plates (smaller plates not shown). Some plates have continents; some don’t. All are in motion. Lithospheric Plates Flash Rollovers “Tectonic Plates” & “Plates, Earthquakes, and Volcanoes”Tectonic PlatesPlates, Earthquakes, and Volcanoes

What are Plates made of? 1. Lithosphere plates – the crust and upper part of the mantle

Asthenosphere/lithosphere

What are the tectonic plates? Lithosphere Is the ~100-km-thick surface of Earth; Contains crust and upper mantle; Is rigid and brittle; Fractures to produce earthquakes. Watch video lecture “Lithospheric plates”Lithospheric plates

Plates are made of both Oceanic and Continental Crust Continental Crust Less dense (lighter) 2.7 g/cm Made of mostly silicate/granitic rocks Older (4bya) Oceanic Crust More dense(heavier) 2.9 g/cm Made of mostly heavier basaltic rocks Younger (180myo)

Lower section of mantle Rocks are very hot and capable of gradual flow More rigid layer Not part of the plates or asthenosphere.

Outer Core The outer core is liquid Greater than 4500’ Celsius made up of iron and nickel. Very dense (11g/m) It is km thick

Inner Core Pressures very high, so solid. Temp is greater than 5000’Celsius 1250 km thick Iron and Nickel

Review 1) What are the four layers of the Earth? 2) The Earth’s crust is very ______? 3) The mantle is the largest layer of the Earth? True or False 4) Is the Outer Core a liquid or a solid? 5) Is Continental or Oceanic Crust denser? 6) What two parts of the earth make up the lithosphere?

Answers! 1) Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core 2) Thin 3) True 4) Liquid 5) Oceanic is denser 6) Crust and top part of the mantle.
