  1. Topic: Inferred Properties of Earth’s Interior

  2. Simple Model of Earth’s Interior Crust Mantle Outer Core Inner Core

  3. ESRT page 10 Yes, take out your ESRT NOW! Thanks 

  4. Density of the Crust on the ESRT Increasing Depth Increasing Density

  5. What section of crust is shown in the diagram?

  6. Crust -

  7. Felsic & mostly granite Thicker Mafic & mostly basalt Thinner Mantle

  8. Continental Crust vs. Oceanic Crust Continental: -- -- -- -- Oceanic: -- -- -- --

  9. What is the Lithosphere? • - • -

  10. What is the Moho?

  11. MOHO- Mohorovicic Discontinuity: • - Andriji Mohorovicic. 1909

  12. What is the Asthenosphere? • - • -

  13. Diverging Plates Converging Plates

  14. Converging Plates

  15. What is the Mantle? • - • - Thickest layer of the Earth

  16. What is the Outer Core? • - • - Outer Core

  17. What is the Inner Core? • - • - • - Inner Core

  18. Composition of the Cores • - • -

  19. Review Question What are the major differences between the continental crust and the oceanic crust? • Continental: • - • Oceanic: • -

  20. ESRT pg 10 More on the Interior

  21. Surface of Earth Center of Earth Radius of Earth = 6378 KM

  22. Sample Question: What is the depth of the outer and inner core boundary? 5100 km (remember units!!!)

  23. 1.5 millions of atm. Represents the Pressure at different depths What is the Pressure at the mantle and outer core boundary?

  24. What is the temperatures at the lithosphere and asthenosphere boundary? 1000°C Line represents the temperatures inside the earth

  25. This dotted line shows the melting point of material in the Earth. What does melting point mean? -From Solid to a Liquid If the temperature is below the melting point, what phase is it in? -Solid Solid Solid Liquid Solid Which layers in the diagram have temperatures below the melting point? Which phases are they in? Liquid phase where temps. are above the melting point.

  26. Final Question: • Which type of crust is the most dense?
