Earth, Inside & Out • The Earth is divided into three layers • Crust • Mantle • Core Baker 7th grade science 2003-2004
Today we are going to learn about the center or core of the planet • http://www.iteachbio.com/Earth_Science/Earth_Science/The%20Core-.mov
Core • i) Deep within the Earth is the core • ii) The core is made mostly of nickel & iron • iii) Twice as dense as the mantle. • Main source of heat that triggers the convection currents Baker 7th grade science 2003-2004
The core is made of two layers • (1) Outer core:Liquid & is responsible for the Earth’s magnetic field. • Inner core: solid Baker 7th grade science 2003-2004
Today we are going to learn another layer of the planet the Mantle • http://www.iteachbio.com/Earth_Science/Earth_Science/The%20Mantle-.mov
Mantle • (1) Hotter and denser than the crust because the deeper you go inside the earth, the temperature & pressure increases. • (2) Made of solid rock. • The Mantle is made of two zones Baker 7th grade science 2003-2004
Mantle Zones • (a) Lithosphere • (i) Thin, uppermost part of the mantle; cooler & less rigid • (ii) Floats on the athenosphere, and slides around very slowly. • (iii) The upper part of the lithosphere melts rocks, forming a substance called magma. Baker 7th grade science 2003-2004
Magma • 1. Magma (melted rock) moves like hot oatmeal. • Uneven heating causes material in the mantle to constantly and slowly rise & fall in convection currents. • Convection Current: process by which hot fluid rises to the surface, and then sinks again, like soup being heated in a saucepan Baker 7th grade science 2003-2004
(a) Asthenosphere • Hot, weak zone directly under the lithosphere • Flows at a very slow rate Baker 7th grade science 2003-2004
Today we are going to learn about the last layer of the Earth, the Crust • http://www.iteachbio.com/Earth_Science/Earth_Science/The%20Crust-.mov
Crust • (1) This is the outermost layer of the Earth. • (2) This is the layer we walk on. • (3) It is a thick, rocky skin. • (4) If we think of the Earth as a billiard ball, this crust is as thin as a postage stamp stuck on a billiard ball. • (5) At its thickest, which is under mountain ranges, the crust is only about 35km (22mi) thick. Baker 7th grade science 2003-2004
And what type of crust would you like with your Earth? • There are two types of crust Baker 7th grade science 2003-2004
Continental Crust: • 1. Makes up the continents • 2. Contains light colored rocks such as granite. • 3. Floats high on the mantle Baker 7th grade science 2003-2004
Oceanic Crust • 1. Makes up the ocean floor • 2. Contains the dense rocks such as basalt • Thinner than the continental crust Baker 7th grade science 2003-2004
Closing: • What is something we learned about the core of the Earth?
