• Scientists use two ways to find the answer:
1. Direct evidence from rocks.
2. Indirect evidence from Seismic Waves.
What’s Inside the Earth?

• Scientists drill holes up to 12 km deep to get rock samples.
• They also get temperature and pressure data.
Direct Evidence
German deep drilling project

• Volcanoes eject material from up to 100 km deep.
• This is more direct evidence of what is down there !!!

• Scientists use seismic waves to get indirect evidence.
• They look at:
1. Change in speed
2. Change in path

• From this scientists know there are 3 main layers:
1. Crust
2. Mantle
3. Core

• Temperature increases (hotter) as you go down.
• Pressure increases (gets higher) as you go down.

• A thin layer of solid rock - includes dry land and the land under the ocean.
• 5 to 70 km thick.
The Crust

• Hot layer of solid rock 3000 km thick.
• It has several layers with different physical characteristics.
The Mantle

4-1: Earth’s Interior
• Hottest layer made mostly of the metals iron and nickel – 3500 km thick.
• It has two parts, inner core of solid metal and outer core of liquid metal.
The Core

• Lithosphere is the crust and the solid upper layer of the mantle.
• Asthenosphere is a softer, hot rock layer just below the lithosphere.
• Lower Mantle is solid rock down to the outer core.

• The Earth acts like a large bar magnet.
• Scientist believe the magnetic field is produced in the moving liquid metal in the outer core.
