  1. Extreme Earth

  2. The Earth Our beautiful planet. The Earth.

  3. The Geosphere It includes all the features of the earth’s surface: continents, islands, the sea floor, and everything below the surface. It is made of layers...

  4. What is it like inside? The Earth is your home. But…

  5. Imagine the Earth was a watermelon.

  6. Imagine you cut a slice out of it.

  7. What would you find inside? ?

  8. The Earth has got3 layers. 1 2 3

  9. 1 . The first layer is the Crust. the Crust 1

  10. The Crust is the layer you live on.

  11. The Crust is between 8 and 65 km thick. 8-65km The crust is made of rock rocks

  12. 2 There are two types of Crust.. 1

  13. There are two types of Crust.. The continental Crust TheoceanicCrust

  14. The crust forms the continents. Continental

  15. The continental Crust is made of granite. granite We make staircases with granite

  16. Oceanic The Crust is the crust under the oceans.

  17. The oceanic Crust is made of basalt. It’s solid, not liquid. basalt We make sculptures With basalt

  18. the Mantle 2 2. The second layer is the Mantle.

  19. The Mantle forms about half of the Earth. Themantle Thecore TheCrust

  20. The Mantle is 2900 km thick. heavier rock The upper mantle is made of heavier rock 2900km toffee like The lower mantle is made of soft rock and is hot

  21. The mantel is mainly made of rock. silicate We make rings with silicates

  22. the Core 3 3. The third layer is the Core.

  23. The Core is 5500ºC at the centre. 5500ºC

  24. TheCoreis 3480 km thick. liquid The outer core is liquid The inner core is solid 3480km

  25. The Core is mainly made of metal. iron nickel We make doors with iron We make coins with nickel

  26. The crust and the upper mantle form the Lithosphere The crust and the upper mantle form the Lithosphere. Upper mantel lithosphere TheCrust

  27. Let’s make it simple ! Imagine the Crust is your tortoise aquarium.

  28. The continental Crust is the island where the tortoise rests when it doesn’t want to swim. The continental Crust TheoceanicCrust The oceanic Crust is the floor under the water where you sometimes put the coloured sand.

  30. What are the characteristics of the 3 layers? Properties & states? howthick? made of? Temperature? Thecrust The mantle Upper Lower Outer Inner The core
