Summary from Previous Class 1.Earth’s Internal Layering - Crust, Mantle and Core 2.Seismology, LVZ, Lithosphere, and Asthenosphere 3.P,T, density variation in the earth’s interior 4.Transition Zone, Two-layered vs. whole mantle convection 5. Plate tectonics, Plumes, Wilson Cycle, and recent hypotheses by Anderson and Larson

Layer Names Inner CoreSolid Iron Outer CoreMolten Iron MantleDense silicates CrustGreat variety of minerals in the continental crust but limited in the oceanic crust

Meteorite Types Irons (Core Equivalent) Stony Irons (Core/Mantle Boundary) Stony meteorites Achondrites (silicate dominated) Chondrites (silicate) Carbonaceous Chondrites (only type with C & H 2 O…source of LIFE!)
