Inner core: 800 miles. Yellow, orange, red, blue, and green modeling clay. Submitted by: Laurie Molnar. The interior of the Earth is classified into crust, mantle, and core. Using the dimensions you've calculated above, start by making the small inner core. Compass White paper. They can't travel through liquid, so this is where their journey ends. Author's Note: In addition, teachers may want to include a teacher-made diagram for students to label. When you put the cake mixes into the pans to bake, try to use the approximate dimensions that you calculated above so that the cake layers will be the correct thickness. An important consequence of the difference in density is that if tectonic plates happen to bring ocean crust and continental crust into collision, the plate with ocean crust will be forced down into the mantle beneath the plate with continental crust. The crust floats on the mantle. This signifies the outer core is liquid.
Beneath the lithosphere is the amounts of melted rock dispersed through the otherwise solid asthenosphere make the asthenosphere weak compared to the lithosphere. P waves are compressional or longitudinal waves. As we learned in another lesson, this layer is called the mantle, and we know that it's a different density than the crust because seismic waves 'bend' and suddenly pick up speed where these two layers meet. How can geologists study the interior of the Earth? One of the easiest is modeling clay. These include igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock. Three types of rocks also help to make up the composition of Earth. Rock samples from Earth provide direct evidence of Earth's interior. Upper mantle: 225 miles. What's Inside the Earth? Collect students' worksheets to review students' understanding of the interior sections of the Earth. Explain that we can find valuable resources in the crust (oil and minerals). Important Interior of Earth Questions with Answers. Inner Core||6400 to 5180 kilometers beneath Earth's surface||Solid, dense ball made mostly of iron and nickel; 5400 degrees Celsius; enormous pressure over 3 million times greater than Earth's surface.
Just because we can't dig our way down into Earth to see what it's made of doesn't mean we can't learn about it in other ways. As a result of increasing pressure, seismic velocity (speed of wave) generally increases with depth in the mantle. These recordings made by a seismograph are called seismograms. Seismologists use direct evidence from rock samples to study the interior of Earth. Unable to pass through air and liquid (water and magma). It's similar to the consistency of silly putty, which if you punch hard, feels like a solid, but if you stretch slowly, moves like a liquid.
Which among the following is made of solid rocks? You can find these images in most science or geography books. ] In those early days over 4 billion years ago, the earth was mostly made up of liquid rock in volcanoes and was pounded by collisions from other things in space. And in fact, this is the place where the mantle and the outer core meet. Geochemistry||Chemistry of Earth; distribution of minerals, rocks, soil, life forms, water, and atmosphere; carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, water cycles|. Environmental Geology||Collection and analysis of geological data; study of environmental issues in cities or large metropolitan areas|. Mineralogy||Studies minerals in Earth's crust as well as lunar and meteorite samples|. Scientists are able to understand Earth's interior by studying seismic waves. Subject(s): - Science/Earth Science. Do this for each item in the list above, and you will get an understanding of how thick or thin each layer needs to be. Garbage bag (for clean-up). Interior Structure of the Earth. Explain that scientists have concluded that the Earth has three main layers. The waves that travel underground as a result of seismic activity are called body waves.
Resources created by teachers for teachers. Continual impact repeatedly remelted Earth. Plate movement causes earthquakes when they scrape past each other (use hands to demonstrate movement of plates). The denser a material, the quicker a seismic wave will travel. When P waves hit the outer core, they slow considerably, telling us that they've reached a much denser material than in the mantle. Another significant change in wave speed occurs at the edge of the inner core. Seismic waves are sent through the earth during earthquakes, and those energy waves are what cause the ground to shake as they travel through it.
Continental crust is thicker, and predominantly felsic in composition, meaning that it contains minerals that are richer in silica. The really interesting part about this 'solid' layer is that even though it is rock, it 'flows' like a very thick liquid. Author's Note: I photocopied an image of the continents (and how they have changed over time) and had it enlarged. The mantle occupies _____ of the Earth. Overhead projector/transparencies.
2 is a type of peridotite. Tectonic plates are fragments of lithosphere. Why is the core also known as the "nife" layer? We know that the surface of the earth is solid because we can easily see this. For each layer, add on the depth of that layer to the circle that you've already made, then cut out that new, larger circle. Worksheet and Answer Key in format; requires free Adobe Acrobat Reader. Log in: Live worksheets > English. We also know it's a different density than the crust because both types of body waves pick up speed as they hit this layer. Present a poster showing the geographical changes of the continents. Since the major constituent minerals of the crust are silica (Si) and aluminium (Al), it is referred to as SIAL.
Geologists can also examine rocks and debris that have blasted from volcanic eruptions deep inside Earth's surface. Lesson Focus: Explain that Earth's interior has three main layers: (Write the terms on board: crust, mantle, and core. ) Inside the outer core, metals such as iron and nickel move around as liquids. It's like a teacher waved a magic wand and did the work for me. But despite the fact that the boundary between the inner and outer core is approximately as hot as the surface of the sun, only the outer core is liquid. Both direct and indirect evidence must be used to obtain evidence about the inside of Earth.
Geologists use clues from seismic activity to obtain indirect evidence about the material inside Earth.
