Clues to Earth’s Interior Deep mines and wells give scientists hints about Earth’s interior. Scientists also use earthquake waves to gather information about Earth’s interior. By studying how earthquake waves move, scientists are able to infer the density and composition of the materials within Earth. Lesson 2-1

Temperature and pressure increase as depth increases inside Earth. Lesson 2-1

Earth’s Layers The brittle, rocky, outer layer of Earth is called the crust. The crust is the least dense layer of the geosphere and much thinner than the other layers. Lesson 2-2

The crust under oceans is called oceanic crust and is made of dense rocks containing iron and magnesium. (pg.51 figure 8) Lesson 2-2

Earth’s Layers (cont.) Earth’s mantle is the thick middle layer in the solid part of Earth, immediately below the crust. Iron-rich rocks The rocks in the uppermost layer of the mantle are brittle and rigid. Lesson 2-2

Earth’s Layers (cont.) Scientists group the crust and the uppermost mantle into a rigid layer called the lithosphere. The layer of rocks within the mantle, where the rock is soft enough to flow, is called the asthenosphere. The solid rock below the asthenosphere, where high pressure prevents melting, is the upper mantle and lower mantle. Lesson 2-2

Lesson 2-2

Earth’s Layers (cont.) The dense metallic center of Earth is the core. The core has a liquid outer core and a solid inner core and is mostly iron with small amounts of nickel and other elements. Lesson 2-2

Earth’s Layers (cont.) What are the interior layers of Earth? Lesson 2-2

Earth’s Layers (cont.) Scientist learned that the outer core is liquid by analyzing earthquake waves. The inner core is a dense ball of solid iron crystals. Lesson 2-2

Earth’s layers include the crust, mantle, and core Earth’s layers include the crust, mantle, and core. Oceanic crust is under oceans. The continents are made of continental crust. Lesson 2 - VS

The mantle is Earth’s thickest layer The mantle is Earth’s thickest layer. It includes part of the lithosphere and the asthenosphere. Lesson 2 - VS

Earth’s core has a liquid outer core and a solid inner core. Lesson 2 - VS
