SHAPING OF
EARTHS
SURFACE
INTRODUCTION
The surface of the earth is not uniform
but varied and uneven. IT is due to the
millions of years of constant erosion and
weather.
INTERIOR OF
THE EARTH
Earth is composed of several layers
Having its own Function and differ in its
different properties. Scientists discovered
these layers through direct and in direct
sources.
Direct sources are found in Minie field , oil
drills and volcanic eruption .
Indirect sources are found in seismic waves
of earthquakes .
Crust
It is the upper most layer of the where
we live. It contains both continents and
ocean floor. Crust is not even everywhere
the is thicker in continents which
thinner in ocean flors
​
Mantle
Beneath the curst is the mantle. Which
contain molten and semi – molten layer
called magma. The movement of this
material is very important as it helps in
the shaping of the earth. As we go deeper
in the earth surface the heat and
pressure increases the material in the
mantle moves slowly and gradual
changes happen In earth surface.
​
Core
The inner most and densest layer of the
is the core
It is made of iron and nickel (NIFE) and
has two layers the inner core and the
outer core , the outer core is in a liquid
state while the inner core is in a solid
state due to the pressure.
