What’s Inside?

The Earth’s Core – Almost as hot as the surface of the sun (due to radioactive decay) Escape of this inner heat drives geological activity on the planet.
• Inner Core
• Under immense pressure
• Solid metal mostly iron and nickel
• Very high density 13.5 g/ml • Outer Core
• 2270 km thick
• Liquid metal
• Responsible for Earth’s magnetic field

The Mantle• Lower mantle
• Rocky layer
• Most of earth’s volume
• Upper Mantle
• Hot weak rock that is easily deformed
• 10% is molten
• Consists of the asthenosphere, lithosphere and crust

Asthenosphere: Capable of flow
Lithosphere: rigid solid plates
Oceanic Crust: 5-12 km thick, mostly basalt
Continental Crust: 35 km thick, mostly granite,
Oceanic crust is more dense than continental

Temperature on the surface of the sun ~ 5700˚C

How do we know about the earth’s inner structure?
• Drilling only explores into the top 10-15 km of the crust
• Seismic waves can probe 6400 km though

Examine the paths of earthquake data (the epicenter marks the location of an earthquake)
• State 3 things that you can tell by this diagram
