Earth Layers NotesState Thickness

(km)Temperature (Celsius)

Crust Solid 0-65 0-870

Mantle Solid with liquid properties (iron, silicon, and magnesium)

65-2890 870-3700

Outer core Liquid (iron and nickel)

2890-5150 3700-4300

Inner core Solid(iron and nickel)

5150-6371 4300-7200•Temperature increase within each layer toward center of Earth•Density increases toward center of Earth

Earth Layers Notes• Lithosphere –the crust and the

upper most portion of the mantle• Rigid • Broken into 12 major plates

• Asthenosphere—portion of mantle below lithosphere• Thin and slushlike• Responsible for plate tectonics

• Plate tectonics—movement of Earth’s crust

Warm Up

• Your fingernails grow about 36mm/year. How do you think the rate of plate tectonics compares to this number?

• Take out your homework for collection

Weather


Plate Tectonics Map Activity

• Cut along the THICK lines of your puzzle

• When you finish cutting all of the THICK lines, rearrange your pieces to make a rectangular shaped map

• Glue your map onto a manila folder

• Shade your land masses green and oceans blue

• Using page 712 and 713 in your textbook, label the plate names and plate direction

• Answer your analysis questions

Plate Tectonics Notes

• Converging—plates collide

• Diverging---plates move apart

• Transform—plates slide/grind past one another

Closing

• The deepest humans have ever drilled into the Earth’s crust is about 2 km. What layer(s) have they observed?

• Knowing this, how do you think scientists gained understanding of Earth’s interior?

Closing

• Pangea was a supercontinent that formed 300 million years ago and began to break apart 200 million years ago.

Using what we learned today about plate tectonics:

• What main movement occurred to form Pangea?

• What main movement occurred to break Pangea?

Warm Up

• Today you will continue cutting out the pieces to your plate tectonics puzzle. What do you think each piece of the puzzle represents?












Continental Drift Theory Notes

• Proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912

• Says continents move slowly and were once all connected in the form of Pangaea

• Evidence:1. Apparent fit of continents2. Matching geology/fossils3. Glacial scars

• However, Wegener could not explain the mechanism through which the continents could have drifted

Tips for Writing Summaries

• Don’t write “This article says…”• Be concise!

• Don’t jump from past to present tense• Write only in 1 tense!

• Don’t use vague words such as “things” or “stuff”• Replace these words with the appropriate noun or pronoun!

• Don’t use title as topic sentence• Make sure topic sentence covers MAIN IDEA

• Don’t plagiarize/copy sentences from article or use quoted material• Use own words!• Write one summary sentence for each paragraph • Realign these sentences to improve flow• Use transitions!

• Proofread writing with intent to revise• Read it in your head. If something sounds “off,” rephrase it

Warm Up• Why is the inner core solid while the outer

core is liquid?• Same question rephrased: why is the inner

core more dense than the outer core?

• Think about how diamonds are formed

Warm Up

• As scientists try to dig deeper into the Earth’s interior, they often drill through the bottom of the ocean. Why might scientists choose to drill into ocean crust rather than continental crust?

• Objective:• SWBAT• Support Alfred Wegener’s theory of continental drift

with four pieces of evidence
