The document discusses the structure of the Earth by comparing it to an apple. It explains that both have a thin outer crust/skin, a thick inner core, and layers in between. The Earth has an inner solid core and outer liquid core of iron and nickel. Between the core and crust is the mantle, made of solid but hot rock. The crust floats on the mantle and is divided into thinner oceanic crust and thicker continental crust made of different materials.

The immense amount of heat energy released from gravitational energy and from the decay of radioactive elements melted the entire planet, and it is still cooling off today. Denser materials like iron (Fe) sank into the core of the Earth, while lighter silicates (Si), other oxygen (O) compounds, and water rose near the surface.
The earth is divided into four main layers: the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. The core is composed mostly of iron (Fe) and is so hot that the outer core is molten, with about 10% sulphur (S). The inner core is under such extreme pressure that it remains solid. Most of the Earth's mass is in the mantle, which is composed of iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), and oxygen (O) silicate compounds. At over 1000 degrees C, the mantle is solid but can deform slowly in a plastic manner. The crust is much thinner than any of the other layers, and is composed of the least dense potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and sodium (Na) aluminum-silicate minerals. Being relatively cold, the crust is rocky and brittle, so it can fracture in earthquakes.

Earth as a system is composed of numerous interacting parts or subsystem. Earth system science attempts to integrate the knowledge from traditional sciences, geology, atmospheric science, chemistry, biology and so on. Earth is just a small part of larger system known as the solar system.
Earth system has nearly endless array of subsystems in which matter is recycled over and over again.

Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle. This strong outer layer is called the lithosphere.

Lesson 8: Shape,Size and Structure of the earthJamaica Olazo
The Earth was formed at the same time as the other planets of the Solar System from a vast spinning disc of gas and dust.
Scientists have gathered valuable information about the Earth with the use of advance science and technology to help us understand our planet.
They have determined the size and shape of the Earth by using precise instruments and equipment.
The Earth is shaped like an Orange because it bulges at the Equator and is flat at the polar regions.
Therefore, the Earth is an Oblate Spheroid.
Geodesy – the science that studies and measures the exact size and dimensions of the Earth.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

3. The Earth’s Interior Ever wondered what our earth is made of? Think of it as an apple. An apple constitutes the skin, the pulp and the core in the middle. Similarly, the earth is made up of the thin outermost layer called the crust, the innermost part called the core, and the part in between them called the mantle. (Fig 1.1) The apple and the structure of the Earth
4. At the beginning, the early earth seemed to have heated up, the centre became molten, and convection currents developed as the lighter compounds tended to rise towards the surface forming the brittle crust. Together with the top part of the mantle, it formed the hard slabs known as lithosphere. The continents are embedded in these slabs. The lithosphere is divided into oceanic and continental crusts. Oceanic crust (sima), the floor of the deep oceans, is thin, about 7km thick, and made of relatively dense rocks like basalt. Continental crust (sial) is much thicker, averaging 33km, and is composed of relatively light material such as granite. (Fig 1.2) The Crust (Oceanic and Continental).
5. The denser materials such as iron sank to form the core. It is partly solid. Temperatures are extremely high, at about 3000oC. (Fig 1.3) The Core. Between the core and the crust, the intermediate zones form the mantle, which is mainly solid rocks but there is also a layer of molten rock called magma nearer the core. Temperatures are high, at about 2000oC. Fig 1.4) The Mantle.
6. The Earth’s Structure THE CORE The inner part of the earth is the core. This part of the earth is about 2,900 km below the earth's surface. The core is a dense ball of the elements iron and nickel. It is divided into two layers, the inner core and the outer core. The inner core - the centre of earth - is solid and about 1,250 km thick. The outer core is so hot that the metal is always molten, but the inner core pressures are so great that it cannot melt, even though temperatures there reach 3700ºC. The outer core is about 2,200 km thick.
7. The Earth’s Structure THE MANTLE The layer above the core is the mantle. It begins about 10 km below the oceanic crust and about 30 km below the continental crust (see The Crust). The mantle is to divide into the inner mantle and the outer mantle. It is about 2,900 km thick and makes up nearly 80 percent of the Earth's total volume.
8. The Earth’s Structure THE CRUST The crust covers the mantle and is the earth's hard outer shell, the surface on which we are living. Compared to the other layers the crust is much thinner. It floats upon the softer, denser mantle. The crust is made up of solid material but this material is not the same everywhere. There is an Oceanic crust and a Continental crust. The first one is about 6-11 km thick and mainly consists of heavy rocks, like basalt. The Continental crust is thicker than the Oceanic crust, about 30 km thick. It is mainly made up of light material like granite.
9. Earth’s Structure Notes Liquid solid About 2300km About 1200km Outer Core Inner Core Rigid Plastic – will flow very slowly Upper 100km Total about 3000km Mantle Solid, rigid 6km under the oceans; Average 30-40km; Up to 70km under continents Crust State Thickness Part of the Earth
