* Mantle: (2900km) thick, solid layer between the crust and the Earth’s core. The density of the mantle is 3-9 g/cm^3; the crust “floats” on the mantle…

1. What is Earth’s mantle? The mantle is a part of a terrestrial planet or other rocky body large enough to have differentiation by density. The interior of the Earth, similar to the other terrestrial planets, is chemically divided into layers. The mantle is a layer between the crust and the outer core. ...…
The newest model states that the earth’s outer core to be a very active and move in circulation. This is called plate tectonics.…
The mantle itself is set between the crust, and the outer core of the earth. The mantle is by far the largest divide of the earth, measuring around 2900km thick, which is almost 85% of the earth’s volume. So the mantle is divided into four sections. The upper mantle (35 km- 400 km), the transition zone (410–660 km), the lower mantle (660–2900 km), and the core-mantle boundary (varies but normally 200km thick).…

The Earth began to differentiate forming a stratified Earth. How does density change with depth? What are these zones (not necessary to memorize depths)? How are these zones (Fig 1.1) grouped to form the Geodynamo System and Plate Tectonic system? Which one makes up the tectonic plates? Which zones are strong and which ones are weak or ductile?…

Dr. Iain Stewart (geologist) explains how the earth was formed. The earth was nothing but comets and asteroids circling the sun. These bits of rock contained water, metals, and other essential elements that are now found on earth. http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/earth/earth_timeline/earth_formed#p00fzslq…
The plate-tectonic theory plays a huge part in the beginning years and it tells us that continents as well as ocean floors have rigid plates in the lithosphere and these plates slide over deeper rock in the asthenosphere. The movement of these plates causes breaking and colliding across the globe and this is what in fact formed North America due to all the collisions and then welding together of many smaller continents and some island arcs during the Precambrian time.…

Studies of seismic waves have revealed two important types of layering in the Earth: chemical and physical. Compositional layering refers to layers of different composition. Physical layering refers to layers of different mechanical properties, such as rigid layers verses "plastic" or fluid layers. Compositional layering was the first type of layering recognized. Seismic and other data indicate that the Earth contains a central core of nickel-iron metal. The core is surrounded by a layer of dense rock, called the mantle, that extends most of the way from the core to the surface. Near the surface, the densities of the rocks are typically lower. The crust is a thin outer layer of lower density rock about 3 miles thick under the oceans and about 18.5 miles thick under the continents. he core-mantle-crust structure gives us important clues about the history of the Earth and other planets. First, it shows the importance of differentiation processes - processes that separate materials of different composition from one another. Most…
Earth was initially molten due to extreme volcanism and frequent collisions with other bodies. Eventually, the outer layer of the planet cooled to form a solid crust when water began accumulating in the atmosphere. The Moon formed soon afterwards, possibly as the result of a Mars-sized object with about 10% of the Earth's mass impacting the planet in a glancing blow. Some of this object's mass merged with the Earth, significantly altering its internal composition, and a portion was ejected into space. Some of the material survived to form an orbiting moon. Outgassing and volcanic activity produced the primordial atmosphere. Condensing water vapor, augmented by ice delivered from comets, produced the oceans.…
Scientists can estimate the density of the inner core to be 12.7 – 13.0 g/cm3, because our best evidence comes from iron meteorites, because they are composed of iron and nickel. Scientists also use seismic waves to find important information about the density of the inner core by looking at the sizes of the waves. The inner cores density is based on the way seismic pressure waves move through the Earth to arrive at locations remote from the earthquake source. Scientists estimate that the inner cores density is 12.7 to 13.0 g/cm3, because the pressure deep in Earth’s core increases density by forcing liquids to turn into a solid state, and then as the pressure increases, solids turn into new tightly packed crystal structures.…
