Structure of the Earth 2
The inner core is a solid section of the Earth and is unattached to the 
mantle, being suspended by the molten outer core. This solidified state 
is the result of a very intense pressure-freezing process that occurs in 
most liquids when temperature decreases or pressure increases. The 
outer core of Earth is a scorching hot, electrically conductive liquid in 
which convection takes place. This inner layer in mutual combination 
with the rotational motion of the Earth creates a dynamo effect where a 
force ield of electrical currents is generated. This field is also known as 
Earth's magnetic field, which is responsible for the functioning of 
mechanical and biological compasses. This field also causes a subtle 
jerking motion in the Earth's daily rotation. In terms of the physical 
aspects of the outer core, the layer is dense, but not as dense as pure 
molten iron, evidencing the presence of multiple impurities having a 
lighter chemical makeup. According to scientists, about 10% of this 
layer is composed of sulfur and/or oxygen due to the fact that these 
two elements are abundant in the cosmos and dissolve readily in 
molten iron.

The outer core is in the range of 200 to 300 
kilometers (125 to 188 miles) thick and 
represents about 4% of the mantle-crust mass. 
This layer is sometimes identified as part of the 
lower mantle due to its geographical nature. 
However, studies on seismic discontinuities 
suggest that this "D" layer might differ 
chemically rom the lower mantle lying above it.

Looking at the lower mantle, its chemical 
omposition includes silicon, magnesium, and 
oxygen. Most likely, it probably also contains 
some iron, calcium, and aluminum. This layer is 
comprised of 72.9% of the antle-crust mass, 
making the Earth abundant in the chemical 
elements of silicon, magnesium and oxygen, 
the layer's primary components.

Higher up, we encounter the upper mantle. Through 
excavations in volcanoes, scientists have found that this 
part of the crust composes of 15.3% of the total mantle-crust 
mass and is made of crystalline forms of Olivine 
(Mg,Fe)2SiO4 and pyroxene (Mg,Fe)SiO3. The upper 
mantle makes up 10.3% of the Earth's mass, extending a 
depth of 6-250 miles (10-400 kilometers). A relatively large 
portion when compared to the other interior layers. This 
layer is not completely made of solid minerals for scientists 
speculate that the asthenosphere could be partly liquid 
molten.

The next layer, the Transition region 
comprises 7.5% of Earth's mass with a depth of 250- 
406 miles (400-650 kilometers). This layer is also known 
as the mesosphere and is 11.1% of the mantle-crust. It 
is made of mainly basaltic magmas with amounts of 
calcium, aluminum and garnet (an aluminum-bearing 
silicate mineral). The layer becomes dense when the 
garnet mineral cools but is buoyant and light when 
subject to heat due to the low melting points.

The outer most layer, the crust, is categorized into two 
parts, the Oceanic crust and the continental crust. 
The Oceanic crust is the smallest part of Earth, 
only 0.099% of its mass and reaching a small depth of 0-6 
miles (0-10 kilometers). In the beginning of time, it was 
possible that this area did not exist for through frequent 
volcanic activity does only the crust form. Evidence of this 
is marked by the oceanic ridge system, which is a 25,000 
mile (40,000-kilometer) array of many volcanoes which 
creates layer after layer of new crust at the rate of 17 km3 
per year. The ocean floor is covered in basalt originating 
from volcanic activity and as a matter of fact, Iceland and 
Hawaii are two island systems that emerged from the 
accumulated basalt.

Continental crust: The second smallest area of the Earth is 
the Continental crust, making up only 0.374% of the 
Earth's mass and extending a short depth of 0 - 31 miles 
(0-50 kilometers). Looking at the percent by composition, 
the continental crust makes up only 0.554% of the mantle-crust 
mass. The layer is composed primarily of crystalline 
rocks made of low-density buoyant minerals dominated 
mostly by quartz (SiO2) and feldspars (metal-poor 
silicates). This is the outer part of the Earth composed 
essentially of crystalline rocks. The continental crust and 
the oceanic crust are also referred to as the lithosphere 
because of the cool and rocky conditions that exist in its 
chemical composition.

Structure of the Earth

  • 1. 1
  • 3. The inner core is a solid section of the Earth and is unattached to the mantle, being suspended by the molten outer core. This solidified state is the result of a very intense pressure-freezing process that occurs in most liquids when temperature decreases or pressure increases. The outer core of Earth is a scorching hot, electrically conductive liquid in which convection takes place. This inner layer in mutual combination with the rotational motion of the Earth creates a dynamo effect where a force ield of electrical currents is generated. This field is also known as Earth's magnetic field, which is responsible for the functioning of mechanical and biological compasses. This field also causes a subtle jerking motion in the Earth's daily rotation. In terms of the physical aspects of the outer core, the layer is dense, but not as dense as pure molten iron, evidencing the presence of multiple impurities having a lighter chemical makeup. According to scientists, about 10% of this layer is composed of sulfur and/or oxygen due to the fact that these two elements are abundant in the cosmos and dissolve readily in molten iron.

  • 5. The outer core is in the range of 200 to 300 kilometers (125 to 188 miles) thick and represents about 4% of the mantle-crust mass. This layer is sometimes identified as part of the lower mantle due to its geographical nature. However, studies on seismic discontinuities suggest that this "D" layer might differ chemically rom the lower mantle lying above it. Structure of the Earth 5
  • 7. Looking at the lower mantle, its chemical omposition includes silicon, magnesium, and oxygen. Most likely, it probably also contains some iron, calcium, and aluminum. This layer is comprised of 72.9% of the antle-crust mass, making the Earth abundant in the chemical elements of silicon, magnesium and oxygen, the layer's primary components. Structure of the Earth 7
  • 9. Higher up, we encounter the upper mantle. Through excavations in volcanoes, scientists have found that this part of the crust composes of 15.3% of the total mantle-crust mass and is made of crystalline forms of Olivine (Mg,Fe)2SiO4 and pyroxene (Mg,Fe)SiO3. The upper mantle makes up 10.3% of the Earth's mass, extending a depth of 6-250 miles (10-400 kilometers). A relatively large portion when compared to the other interior layers. This layer is not completely made of solid minerals for scientists speculate that the asthenosphere could be partly liquid molten. Structure of the Earth 9

  • 11. The next layer, the Transition region comprises 7.5% of Earth's mass with a depth of 250- 406 miles (400-650 kilometers). This layer is also known as the mesosphere and is 11.1% of the mantle-crust. It is made of mainly basaltic magmas with amounts of calcium, aluminum and garnet (an aluminum-bearing silicate mineral). The layer becomes dense when the garnet mineral cools but is buoyant and light when subject to heat due to the low melting points. Structure of the Earth 11

  • 13. The outer most layer, the crust, is categorized into two parts, the Oceanic crust and the continental crust. The Oceanic crust is the smallest part of Earth, only 0.099% of its mass and reaching a small depth of 0-6 miles (0-10 kilometers). In the beginning of time, it was possible that this area did not exist for through frequent volcanic activity does only the crust form. Evidence of this is marked by the oceanic ridge system, which is a 25,000 mile (40,000-kilometer) array of many volcanoes which creates layer after layer of new crust at the rate of 17 km3 per year. The ocean floor is covered in basalt originating from volcanic activity and as a matter of fact, Iceland and Hawaii are two island systems that emerged from the accumulated basalt.

  • 15. Continental crust: The second smallest area of the Earth is the Continental crust, making up only 0.374% of the Earth's mass and extending a short depth of 0 - 31 miles (0-50 kilometers). Looking at the percent by composition, the continental crust makes up only 0.554% of the mantle-crust mass. The layer is composed primarily of crystalline rocks made of low-density buoyant minerals dominated mostly by quartz (SiO2) and feldspars (metal-poor silicates). This is the outer part of the Earth composed essentially of crystalline rocks. The continental crust and the oceanic crust are also referred to as the lithosphere because of the cool and rocky conditions that exist in its chemical composition. Structure of the Earth 15
