* 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…
Lithosphere – is the earth’s solid outer shell and forces the shape of the earth’s surface.…
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. ...…
Scientist believe that the collision of earth with a smaller body caused the earth to tilt on it axis at 23 degrees. The blasting debris is said to have formed the moon. The period from the accretion of the earth to the formation of the oldest existing rocks can be retraced to the stratification or differentiation of the earth.…
The crust is the outer most portion of the earth and takes up less than 1% than the total volume of the earth. It is commonly compared to the skin of an apple, whereas the apple represents the earth. The temperature of the crust varies from the air on top, to upward of 1600 at the deepest parts. The tectonic plates are part of the crust of the earth, moving and shifting on the softer mantle or asthenosphere below. Occasionally the fiction of these plates builds, and eventually the rock gives and this results in an earthquake.…
1.Early Earth- uniform composition&density(mostly silicates) 2. Earth heated up to melt Iron&Nickel to create a core. Heated by meteorite impact, gravitational compression, &radioactive decay the iron/nickel weigh more than silicates so settled to earth’s center. 3. Earth was formed consisting of a dense iron-nickel core; an iron-rich silicate mantle and a silicate crust with continents emission of gases the formation of oceans and the atmosphere.…
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?…
The two metropolitan areas that I have selected are New Orleans my hometown where I was born and raised before hurricane Katrina and Corpus Christi, Texas my new hometown where I have resided at since hurricane Katrina. The Criminal Offense for New Orleans and for Corpus Christi, Texas is Property Crime.…
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.…
