Physical Structure of the Earth

p  Crust n  Lithosphere- rigid outer layer (crust)

p  Mantle n  Asthenosphere- solid rock that flows slowly (like hot asphalt) n  Mesosphere- middle layer

p  Outer Core- liquid layer p  Inner Core- solid, very dense

LO: What is the Inferred Properties of the Earth’s Interior?

The Crust p  “Lithosphere” p  Outer layer p  5-100 km thick p  2 types of crust

n  Oceanic (very dense, made of basalt)

n  Continental (less dense, made of granite)

LO: What is the Inferred Properties of the Earth’s Interior?

•  Oceanic crust is very dense, made of Basalt. •  Continental crust is less dense, made of Granite.

2 TYPES OF CRUST:

The Mantle p 2 Parts

n “Asthenosphere” and “Mesosphere”

p  Very thick layer p  Where Convection

Currents take place.

LO: What is the Inferred Properties of the Earth’s Interior?

The Mantle p Contains the “Moho”

p  (Mohorovicic discontinunity)

p  It is the largest layer (about 2900 km thick). Rock layers are movable. (plastic)

LO: What is the Inferred Properties of the Earth’s Interior?

The Inner and Outer Core

p  2 layers n  Inner Core n  Outer Core

p  Made mostly of iron p  1/3 of the earth’s mass p  Very hot

LO: What is the Inferred Properties of the Earth’s Interior?

Tectonic Plates

p  Earth’s crust is broken into about 19 pieces p  These plates move on top of the asthenosphere.
