The Earth is composed of four main layers:
1) The crust, which ranges from 3-25 miles thick and is the outermost layer people live on.
2) The mantle, which is hotter and able to flow.
3) The outer core, which is even hotter and composed of liquid nickel and iron.
4) The inner core, which is under such extreme heat and pressure that it forms a solid ball of vibrating nickel and iron at the very center of the Earth.

EARTH STRUCTURE AND COMPOSITION
The document describes the structure and composition of the Earth. It discusses the four main layers of the Earth - crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the topmost layer and is broken into tectonic plates that "float" on the mantle. The mantle, which makes up most of the Earth's volume, becomes hotter with increasing depth and drives convection currents that move the plates. The outer core is liquid while the inner core is solid due to extreme heat and pressure at the Earth's center.

The Earth is composed of four main layers from outermost to innermost: the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the thinnest layer and is made up of either lighter continental crust or denser oceanic crust. Below the crust lies the thick mantle, which makes up most of the Earth's mass. At the center are the core layers - the liquid outer core surrounding a solid inner core made mostly of iron. Scientists study seismic waves from earthquakes to learn about the composition and structure of the deeper interior layers not directly observable.
Earth’s Interior-1.ppt
1) Earthquakes produce seismic waves that provide information about the interior of Earth as they travel through different layers at varying speeds.
2) Observations of P and S waves led scientists to conclude that Earth's core has a solid inner layer and a liquid outer layer, both composed of iron and nickel.
3) Between the core and crust is the mantle, made up of silicon, oxygen, iron and magnesium, which becomes solid rock under high temperature and pressure.
Interior of the earth
The document discusses the interior structure of the Earth. It is divided into four major layers:
1) The crust is the outermost solid rock layer and is divided into continental and oceanic crust.
2) Below the crust is the mantle, which makes up most of the Earth's volume. The upper mantle includes the asthenosphere and transition zone.
3) In the Earth's core, seismic waves indicate the outer core is liquid while the inner core is solid.
4) Evidence from earthquake waves, density measurements, and mineral properties help reveal the composition of each layer and boundaries between them like the Mohorovicic discontinuity.

Layers of the earth (custodio)
The document describes the four main layers of Earth - the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the thinnest solid outer layer averaging 25 miles thick and composed mostly of oxygen, silicon, aluminum and iron. Below is the mantle, a dense hot semi-solid layer 1,802 miles thick composed of silicate minerals. The outer core is a liquid layer of iron and nickel between 4,000-5,000 degrees Celsius and 1,430 miles thick, generating Earth's magnetic field. Within is the inner core, the planet's hottest center at 5,000-7,000 degrees Celsius and solid iron 750 miles thick under immense pressure.
02: Earth’S Interior Vocabulary
The crust is the outermost solid layer of the Earth. Below the crust is the mantle, made of solid rock, where convection currents in the soft asthenosphere transfer heat through rising and sinking warm and cool fluids. In the Earth's interior, the fastest P-waves travel through solids and liquids, while slower S-waves only move through solids, with an outer liquid core of iron and nickel surrounding a solid inner core.
Quarter 1-Introduction to Plate Tectonics Part 2.
The document provides information about studying the Earth's interior. It discusses the different layers of the Earth (crust, mantle, outer core, inner core) and their compositions. Key points include:
- Seismic waves like P waves and S waves are used to determine the layers and their properties by measuring how fast they travel.
- Discontinuities like the Mohorovičić discontinuity and Gutenberg discontinuity indicate changes in density between layers.
- The outer core is liquid while the inner core is solid based on how seismic waves propagate.
Interior of the earth
The document summarizes the internal structure of the Earth based on seismic wave studies. It describes the three main layers as the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the outermost solid rocky layer, varying in thickness between continents and oceans. Below is the mantle, making up most of the Earth's volume, with the upper asthenosphere partially molten. The innermost layer is the core, divided into a solid inner core and liquid outer core composed primarily of iron and nickel. Seismic waves have revealed details of each layer and helped determine the Earth has a liquid outer core, differing from the Moon's internal structure.
Layers of the earth GN
The document describes the structure and composition of Earth. It discusses how Earth is made up of four interconnected spheres - the atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. It then focuses on the layers that make up Earth's interior, including the crust, mantle, and core. The crust and mantle are composed mainly of oxygen, silicon, and metals. Heat from the core drives convection currents in the mantle and outer core.
rahul paritosh
The document summarizes the structure and composition of the Earth. It describes how the Earth formed from collisions of smaller bodies and cooled to form a crust. Below the crust are the mantle, the outer core which is liquid, and the inner solid core. The crust and upper mantle make up tectonic plates that move over time. The mantle is solid rock above but behaves like thick liquid below due to heat and pressure. The outer core generates the Earth's magnetic field through convection currents.

Differentiation of earth
This document summarizes the differentiation of the Earth. It discusses how the Earth initially formed as a molten mass and over time separated into layers with the heavier materials sinking to the center to form the core. The two main theories for this differentiation are homogeneous and heterogeneous accretion. Evidence from the Moon supports the Earth differentiating into layers early in its formation history around 4.5 billion years ago. The Earth is now composed of concentric layers that decrease in density from the iron-nickel core, to the silicate mantle, and finally the crust at the surface.
Module-1-LITHOSPHERE1 (GRADE 10 SCIENCE FIRST QUARTER MODULE )1upload.pptx
The document discusses the layers of the Earth's lithosphere. It describes the lithosphere as the cool, rigid outer layer of the Earth made up of crust and upper mantle. The lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that float on the asthenosphere. There are two types of plates - continental plates composed of less dense rocks found under land, and oceanic plates made of denser rocks under oceans. The boundaries between plates experience geological events like earthquakes and volcanoes.
Earth Science 4.1 : Inside the Earth
The document summarizes the layers and structure of the Earth's interior. It discusses the three main layers - crust, mantle, and core - based on their chemical compositions. The crust is the outermost layer and thinnest, with continental crust thicker than oceanic crust. The mantle makes up most of the Earth's mass and lies between the crust and core. The core is the central part made mostly of iron. It then describes the physical structure, dividing the interior into lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, and inner core based on their properties. Tectonic plates consist of crust and the rigid upper mantle, floating on the asthenosphere. Scientists have mapped the interior using seismic waves from earth
The earth biology
The document summarizes key aspects of the Earth's formation and structure. It describes how the Earth formed from meteorites millions of years ago. It then details the development of the moon through a collision with Mars. It also outlines the Earth's rotation, which causes day and night, and its revolution around the sun, which causes seasons. Finally, it provides an overview of the Earth's layered structure, including the inner and outer core, mantle, crust, and how tectonic plates shape the continents.

Geologic Similes
The document discusses four geologic principles - uniformitarianism, superposition, original horizontality, and catastrophism - and compares each principle to the layers of a cake. Uniformitarianism is like a cake in that the ingredients and process of making a cake are always the same. Superposition is like a cake as the bottom layer was placed first and each subsequent layer above it is younger. Original horizontality is like cake layers in that they should be placed horizontally. Catastrophism is like a dropped cake that is suddenly ruined. The document provides additional examples comparing the principles to other everyday items like clothes piles and bicycles.
Exploration
Ancient societies like the Egyptians, Mayans, and builders of Stonehenge began exploring the night sky to develop calendars and track seasonal changes. Greeks like Aristotle and Ptolemy developed early geocentric models of the solar system, though their ideas were inaccurate. Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler, Galileo and Newton made important contributions to establishing the heliocentric model through observations, mathematics, and physics theories like gravity. Continued exploration has led to discoveries of new objects in our solar system like Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and the Kuiper Belt.
What time is it?
The document discusses the Earth's rotation and revolution and how it influences time measurements. It takes the Earth approximately 24 hours to complete one rotation on its axis. The days of the week are named after objects visible in the sky, with Sunday through Friday named after the sun, moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus. Months are based on the moon's cycle around Earth, taking approximately 28 days, while years represent the time for Earth to complete one revolution around the sun, which takes 365.2422 days.
Geologic Principle Similes
The document discusses geological principles for understanding the Earth's history using the analogy of a layer cake. It explains four key principles:
1) Uniformitarianism - geological processes occurred the same way in the past as today, like how cakes are made the same way each time.
2) Superposition - the oldest sedimentary layers are on the bottom, like how cake layers are placed with the bottom being oldest.
3) Original Horizontality - sedimentary rocks form in horizontal layers, similar to cake layers being placed horizontally.
4) Catastrophism - geological change can occur suddenly, akin to a dropped cake being ruined suddenly.
Dance of the planets
The document describes the fundamental force of gravity. It explains that gravity is a weak but predictable force that helped form the universe and has a constant presence, distorting space and time and acting on all matter through mass. Gravity keeps objects like ourselves on Earth and the Earth orbiting the sun according to laws proposed by Newton and Einstein describing gravity's proportional relationship to mass and dependence on net force and inertia.
Why do we measure time the way that we do
Day and night are caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis over 24 hours. Weeks consist of 7 days which are associated with the sun and visible objects in the night sky. Months are based on the moon's approximately 29.5 day revolution around Earth, though months contain 30-31 days. Years measure the 365.2422 days it takes Earth to orbit the sun, requiring a leap year every four years, except for centennial years which must be divisible by 400 to be a leap year.
Cloud Challenge: Alto Clouds
This document discusses two types of middle-level clouds known as alto clouds: altostratus and altocumulus. Altostratus clouds are gray and blue clouds that often cover the sky and are associated with areas of storms and continuous precipitation, composed of ice and water droplets. Altocumulus clouds appear as gray, puffy masses that form in parallel waves or bands, usually occurring on warm, humid summer mornings and often indicating upcoming thunderstorms. Pictures and websites with additional information about alto clouds are also provided.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
