Earth’s Interior
• Geologists have only been able to drill to 3.8
kilometers.
• The center of the Earth is more than 6,000
kilometers deep.

Since Geologists cannot observe the Earth’s
interior directly, they must rely on indirect
measures.
• Seismic Waves are recorded and study how they
travel through the medium of the Earth.
•This information has shown that the Earth has
several layers.
Crust
Crust: the layer of rock that
forms Earth’s outer skin.
• The crust includes rocks,
mountains, soil, and water.
• The outer rind of rock is
much thinner than what is
   beneath it.
• The crust includes both dry land and the ocean floor.
• It is thinnest beneath the ocean and thickest under
     mountains.
•The crust can range from 5-40 kilometers.
•Oceanic crust is made up of basalt.
•Continental crust is made up of granite.
Mantle
The mantle is a layer of hot rock that extends nearly 3,000
kilometers deep.
• The Lithosphere is the upper portion of the mantle and the
crust.
• It is approximately 100 kilometers deep and floats on top
of the Asthenosphere .
•The Asthenosphere is a soft layer of the mantle.
•This layer flows slowly.
•The Asthenosphere is approximately 350 kilometers deep.
•The Mesosphere is the solid lower part of the mantle
below the Asthenosphere .
Earth’s Magnetic Field

• Currents in the liquid outer core force
the solid inner core to spin (planet w/in
another).
•The inner core spins slightly faster
than the rest of the planet.
•This movement creates the Earth’s
magnetic field.

Earth’s Interior Notes (Jenny)

  • 1.
  • 2. Earth’s Interior • Geologists have only been able to drill to 3.8 kilometers. • The center of the Earth is more than 6,000 kilometers deep. Since Geologists cannot observe the Earth’s interior directly, they must rely on indirect measures. • Seismic Waves are recorded and study how they travel through the medium of the Earth. •This information has shown that the Earth has several layers.
  • 3.
  • 4. Crust Crust: the layer of rock that forms Earth’s outer skin. • The crust includes rocks, mountains, soil, and water. • The outer rind of rock is much thinner than what is beneath it. • The crust includes both dry land and the ocean floor. • It is thinnest beneath the ocean and thickest under mountains. •The crust can range from 5-40 kilometers. •Oceanic crust is made up of basalt. •Continental crust is made up of granite.
  • 5. Mantle The mantle is a layer of hot rock that extends nearly 3,000 kilometers deep. • The Lithosphere is the upper portion of the mantle and the crust. • It is approximately 100 kilometers deep and floats on top of the Asthenosphere . •The Asthenosphere is a soft layer of the mantle. •This layer flows slowly. •The Asthenosphere is approximately 350 kilometers deep. •The Mesosphere is the solid lower part of the mantle below the Asthenosphere .
  • 6. Earth’s Magnetic Field • Currents in the liquid outer core force the solid inner core to spin (planet w/in another). •The inner core spins slightly faster than the rest of the planet. •This movement creates the Earth’s magnetic field.
