5. The crust is the thinnest and outermost layer of
the Earth
Underneath some mountains, the crust’s
thickness extend to 72 kilometers
The earth’s crust was divided into two regions, the
continental crust and oceanic crust
Continental crust’s thickness is 35 to 40
kilometers and made up of silicon, oxygen ,
aluminum, calcium, sodium and potassium
Oceanic crust is around 7 to 10 kilometers , and
made of dense rocks such as basalt
OCEANIC CRUST is heavier than
CONTINENTAL CRUST
7. The crust is consist of two layer, the upper
layer is composed of granite and only found in
continental crust
Below granite is a layer made mainly of basalt.
This found both under the continent and
oceans
8.
9. Beneath the crust is the mantle ,80% Earth’s
total volume and 68 % total mass
The lower part of the mantle is consist more
iron and than the upper part. This explain that
the lower mantle is denser than the upper
mantle
The high temperature and pressure in the
mantle allows the solid rock flow slowly
The mantle is made up of silicon , oxygen , iron
and magnesium
10. A mantle is a layer inside the planetary body
bounded below by a core and above the crust
Mantle are characteristics of planetary bodies
that have undergone differentiation by density
All Terrestrial planets (including Earth), a
number of asteroids, and some planetary
moons have mantles
The mantle is divided into three layers. The
upper mantle, transition zone, and the lower
mantle
11.
12. The upper mantle is a layer of the Earth between
the crust and the core. The upper mantle can be
divided into the thin layer, together with the
crust, lithosphere and asthenosphere
Transition zone is a part of the Earth's mantle,
and it's located between a depth of 410 and 660
km
The lower mantle represents approximately
56%of the Earth's total volume and its located
660-2900km below the Earth's surface between
the transition zone and the outer core
13. The crust and uppermost of the mantle form a
relatively cool outermost rigid shell called
LITHOSPHERE
Lithosphere is the top most solid part of the
earth that is composed of several plates
Beneath the lithosphere lies the soft , weak
layer known as the asthenosphere
14. OCEANIC LITHOSPHERE, which associated
with oceanic crust and exist in the ocean basins.
Oceanic lithosphere is typically 50-100 thick
CONTINENTAL LITHOSPHERE, which is
associated with continental crust. Continental
lithosphere has range in thickness from 40 km
to perhaps 200 km, of which 40 km of crust
15.
16. ASTHENOSPHERE weak layer made up of
molten materials , beneath the lithospehere it
lies
It is a layer of solid rocks that has so much the
pressure heats that the rocks can flow like
liquid
Moho discontinuity , it is the boundary
between the crust and the mantle in Earth
Gutenberg discontinuity , it is the boundary
between mantle and outer core
17.
18. The outer core is 2900 kilometers below the
earth’s surface. It is 2250 kilometers thick and
is made up of liquid iron and nickel.
The temperature in the outer core reaches up
to 2000°C at this very high temperature , irone
and nickel melt
19. The inner core is made up of solid iron and
nickel and has radius of 1300 kilometers
It temperature reaches to about 5000°C
The extreme temperature could have molten
the iron and nickel but is believed to have
solidified as a result of pressure freezing
The earth was discovered to have a solid inner
core distinct in 1963 by the Danish
seismologist Inge Lehmann
