1. CRUST:

• The rigid, rocky, thin outer

layer.

• 23.5 miles thick.

Page 6: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

2. MANTLE:

• Rocky layer containing magma• thickest layer under the crust• Made of metals• 1775 miles thick•1600-6700 degrees

Magma is molten material under the surface of the earth.

Page 7: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

3. OUTER CORE:• Made of molten iron-nickel• surrounds the inner core• 1420 miles thick. Liquid.• 6700-8000 degrees.

Page 8: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

4. INNER CORE:

• Center of the earth• solid iron-nickel• very hot and under

great pressure.• 767.5 miles thick•13,000 degrees

Page 9: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

Convection

• Circular movement where hot air or magma rises and the cooler air sinks causing a circular pattern.

• Causes the plates to move.

The Earth’s atmosphere

Page 13: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

1. Geosphere: the solid rocky surface and the inside of the planet.

2. Hydrosphere: earth’s water in seas and on land.

3. Atmosphere: the air that surrounds earth.

4. Biosphere: all living things on earth!5. Lithosphere: A layer that combines

the crust and the upper mantle.

•Pressure, density, and temperature increase the deeper into the surface of the earth.

•Pressure and density decrease the farther from earth.

PLATE TECTONICS

Page 24: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

Continental Drift Theory:•Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift, which states that parts of the Earth's crust slowly drift a top a liquid core. • Pangea—all landmasses connected.• Fossil records prove this to be true.

Plate Tectonic Theory• This theory explains the movement of the Earth's plates and also explains the cause of earthquakes, volcanoes, oceanic trenches, mountain range formation, and other geologic phenomenon.

Page 25: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

Constructive processes:•Deposition•Mountain Building

Destructive processes• Weathering• Erosion• Mass Movement

TYPES OF CATASTROPHES:1. Volcano eruption2. Asteroid Impact

RESULTS FROM CATASTROPHES:

*change climate*causes mass extinction* noted in rock layers &

fossils

Page 27: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

Three types of plate movement: Convergent: plates move together

causing mountain building

Divergent: plates moving apart

Lateral slipping (transform): plates slide beside each other, causing earthquakes

Page 28: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

EARTHQUAKES

Page 29: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

Caused by:Plates rubbing together

2 parts: Focus: the spot underground where

the earthquake begins.

Epicenter: the spot above ground where the earthquakes spreads out.

Page 30: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

VOLCANOES

Page 31: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

Caused by:Magma deep within the earth rises

to the surface due to the plates.

Volcanoes are located around plate boundaries

Types of volcanoes: a.Cinder coneb.Shield c.Composite

Page 32: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

Ring of fire: Located around the pacific ocean where lots of volcanoes and earthquakes occur.

Weathering and Erosion

Page 34: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

I. WEATHERING

Page 35: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

I. WEATHERING A. PHYSICAL WEATHERING 1. DEFINITION: Breaks rocks

into smaller and smaller pieces

Page 36: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

A. PHYSICAL WEATHERING 1. DEFINITION: Breaks rocks into

smaller and smaller pieces 2. Three types of Physical

Weatheringa. FROST WEDGING: b. ABRASION: c. LIVING ORGANISMS: plant roots, animals burrowing

Page 37: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

B. CHEMICAL WEATHERING1. DEFINITION:

Changes rocks and minerals into new chemical combinations

Page 38: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

B. CHEMICAL WEATHERING 1. DEFINITION: Changes rocks and

minerals into new chemical combinations

2. Three types of Chemical Weatheringa. SOLUTION WEATHERING: b. OXIDATION: oxygen combines with iron and water. Example: rusty nailsc. LICHENS AND MOSSES: release acid which breaks down rocks.

Page 39: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

II. EROSION DEFINITION: The removal or transporting of rocks.

Page 40: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

II EROSION A. Four Types of Erosion

1. GRAVITY: causes mass movement. 2. RUNNING WATER: carries particles

away and sorts them. MOST POWERFUL3. ICE: rocks frozen in ice contribute to physical weathering by abrasion. Glaciers4. WIND: particles are picked up and carried off.

Page 41: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

III. DEPOSITIONA. Sand grains have formed due to weathering and erosion and have been transported by wind, water, and ice.

B. The sand is then deposited in a new area and forms sedimentary rocks.

Page 42: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

A. sediments settle and form a flat, horizontal layer.B. The rock layer on the bottom is the oldest.C. The processes we observe today have occurred this way throughout Earth’s history.

IV. Other Rock Information

Page 43: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

Soil

Page 44: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

SOIL1. Soil is a layer of dirt between the

atmosphere and the bedrock in the tectonic plates.

2. Soil is found on the surface of the lithosphere.

Page 45: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

SOIL3. It is made up of minerals (rock, clay, sand, silt), water, air, and organic (plants and animals) material.

4. There are many types of soil. Each unique by color, texture, and minerals.

Page 46: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

SOIL5. Soil is formed slowly as rocks

erode.

6. Organic matter decays and mixes with inorganic material to form soil.

Page 47: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

7. Soil is divided into layers. They are called horizons.

8. The bottom horizon develops first.

9. Humus is rich organic material.

Water1.Found on the earth:

oceans, seas2.Found under the earth:

streams, drains3.Found in the

atmosphere: vapor, clouds

Page 51: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

Ocean Water1. Oceans cover about 70% of the earth’s surface.2. Oceans contain roughly 97% of earth’s water supply. 3. We are the only planet with water. 4. Oceans affect the weather and temperature of earth. 5. Oceans moderate the earth’s temperature by absorbing incoming solar radiation and stores it as heat energy.

Page 52: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

Ocean Water6. Ocean currents are constantly moving and distribute heat energy around the world. 7. All the oceans are connected to each other. 8. As water flows in rivers it picks up small amounts of mineral salts from rocks and soil. Then it flows into the oceans and seas. Salt does not evaporate like water, which is why the ocean water gets salty.

Page 53: THE EARTH!. EARTH’S LAYERS 1. CRUST: The rigid, rocky, thin outer layer. 23.5 miles thick.

Fresh Water1.Fresh water is located in

streams, lakes, and rivers. 2.Reservoirs store water for

future use. 3.Estuaries are where fresh

water and salt water mix.
