Earth’s Interior
•How far do you think it is to the center of the Earth?
![Page 4: Earth Science Chapter 5 Plate Tectonics. Big Ideas Earths Interior Convection and the Mantle Drifting continents Sea-floor Spreading Plate Tectonics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b697f8b9ab0599b28ab/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
•Almost 4,000 miles!•The deepest mine in the world is only 2 miles
![Page 5: Earth Science Chapter 5 Plate Tectonics. Big Ideas Earths Interior Convection and the Mantle Drifting continents Sea-floor Spreading Plate Tectonics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b697f8b9ab0599b28ab/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
•How do you think scientists know about the center of the Earth?
![Page 6: Earth Science Chapter 5 Plate Tectonics. Big Ideas Earths Interior Convection and the Mantle Drifting continents Sea-floor Spreading Plate Tectonics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b697f8b9ab0599b28ab/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Geologists use 2 main types of evidence to learn about Earth’s interior:–Direct Evidence from rock
samples–Indirect evidence from
seismic waves
![Page 7: Earth Science Chapter 5 Plate Tectonics. Big Ideas Earths Interior Convection and the Mantle Drifting continents Sea-floor Spreading Plate Tectonics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b697f8b9ab0599b28ab/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Evidence from Rocks
• Humans have drilled holes and extracted rock from depths of 12 miles• Blasts from the Earth have
brought rocks from 100 ft to the surface
![Page 8: Earth Science Chapter 5 Plate Tectonics. Big Ideas Earths Interior Convection and the Mantle Drifting continents Sea-floor Spreading Plate Tectonics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b697f8b9ab0599b28ab/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Evidence from Seismic Waves
• Earthquakes produce seismic waves• The speed of seismic waves
and the path they take show the structure of the planet

Three main layers
• The three main layers of Earth are the crust, mantle, and the core• These layers differ in size,
composition, temperature, and pressure
![Page 11: Earth Science Chapter 5 Plate Tectonics. Big Ideas Earths Interior Convection and the Mantle Drifting continents Sea-floor Spreading Plate Tectonics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b697f8b9ab0599b28ab/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Temperature
• The first 20 meters beneath Earth’s crust is cool• After this depth, temperature
rises 1 degree Celsius per 40 meters• Heat comes from the molten
layer and radioactive substances
![Page 13: Earth Science Chapter 5 Plate Tectonics. Big Ideas Earths Interior Convection and the Mantle Drifting continents Sea-floor Spreading Plate Tectonics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b697f8b9ab0599b28ab/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Pressure
•The deeper you go, the higher the pressure•This pressure is equal to that of a swimming pool
![Page 14: Earth Science Chapter 5 Plate Tectonics. Big Ideas Earths Interior Convection and the Mantle Drifting continents Sea-floor Spreading Plate Tectonics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b697f8b9ab0599b28ab/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Crust• Crust is a layer of rock that
forms Earth’s outer skin• Crust includes both dry land
and ocean floor• Crust is very thin compared to
the other layers of Earth, only 5-70 km thick

• I was very disappointed in the behavior of some of you on Friday.
• That was extremely disrespectful of you to run from the classroom when the bell rang.
• You need to remember that I dismiss you and not the bell.
• Please take your seat and sit quietly while you wait for class to begin
![Page 20: Earth Science Chapter 5 Plate Tectonics. Big Ideas Earths Interior Convection and the Mantle Drifting continents Sea-floor Spreading Plate Tectonics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b697f8b9ab0599b28ab/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Mantle
• The mantle is about 40 km below the surface• It consists of a hot, solid rock• It can be divided into layers• The mantle is about 3000 km
thick
![Page 21: Earth Science Chapter 5 Plate Tectonics. Big Ideas Earths Interior Convection and the Mantle Drifting continents Sea-floor Spreading Plate Tectonics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b697f8b9ab0599b28ab/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Mantle
![Page 22: Earth Science Chapter 5 Plate Tectonics. Big Ideas Earths Interior Convection and the Mantle Drifting continents Sea-floor Spreading Plate Tectonics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b697f8b9ab0599b28ab/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Lithosphere
• The crust and the uppermost part of the mantle form the lithosphere• It is about 100 km thick• Lithos means “stone” in Greek
![Page 23: Earth Science Chapter 5 Plate Tectonics. Big Ideas Earths Interior Convection and the Mantle Drifting continents Sea-floor Spreading Plate Tectonics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b697f8b9ab0599b28ab/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Asthenosphere
• Under increase heat and pressure• Less rigid-soft like tar, but still
solid• Asthenes means “weak” in Greek
![Page 25: Earth Science Chapter 5 Plate Tectonics. Big Ideas Earths Interior Convection and the Mantle Drifting continents Sea-floor Spreading Plate Tectonics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b697f8b9ab0599b28ab/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

The Lower Mantle
• Beneath the asthenosphere the mantle is solid• This material extends to the
Earth’s core
![Page 27: Earth Science Chapter 5 Plate Tectonics. Big Ideas Earths Interior Convection and the Mantle Drifting continents Sea-floor Spreading Plate Tectonics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b697f8b9ab0599b28ab/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

The Core
• Consists of mostly nickel and iron• Made of two parts, a liquid outer
core and solid inner core• Together it is about 3486 km
thick
![Page 29: Earth Science Chapter 5 Plate Tectonics. Big Ideas Earths Interior Convection and the Mantle Drifting continents Sea-floor Spreading Plate Tectonics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b697f8b9ab0599b28ab/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Despite extreme pressure, the outer core is molten surrounding a dense, solid inner core• Evidence suggests that the extreme
pressure in the inner core will not allow the solid metal to spread and become liquid

Core and Magnetic field
• Scientists think that movements in Earth’s liquid outer core create Earth’s magnetic field.• This magnetism is what attracts a
compass’ needle towards north (it aligns with Earth’s magnetic field)

Continental Drift
• Prior to Columbus, mapmakers did not know about the new worlds• Shortly after they began to
notice how the coastlines of several countries seemed to fit together like a puzzle
![Page 38: Earth Science Chapter 5 Plate Tectonics. Big Ideas Earths Interior Convection and the Mantle Drifting continents Sea-floor Spreading Plate Tectonics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b697f8b9ab0599b28ab/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Continental drift
• Early 1900s German Scientist Alfred Wegener made a hypothesis:• All of the continents were
once joined together in a single land mass and have since drifted apart.
![Page 40: Earth Science Chapter 5 Plate Tectonics. Big Ideas Earths Interior Convection and the Mantle Drifting continents Sea-floor Spreading Plate Tectonics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b697f8b9ab0599b28ab/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The Origin of Continents and Oceans
• Wegener gathered evidence from different scientific fields to support his ideas about continental drift.• He studied land features, fossils,
and evidence of climate change
![Page 41: Earth Science Chapter 5 Plate Tectonics. Big Ideas Earths Interior Convection and the Mantle Drifting continents Sea-floor Spreading Plate Tectonics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b697f8b9ab0599b28ab/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Write a Book!
• Make your own version of Wegner’s book• Use the same title as he did• Read pages 138-138 about the evidence he
found• Create a page for each type of evidence• Explain how the evidence supports his
hypothesis and include illustrations if appropriate.
