Earth Structure
![Page 2: Earth structure 2 m lucente](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/547d4af5b4af9ffd228b4610/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Four Main Layers
• Inner core• Outer core• Mantle• Crust
![Page 3: Earth structure 2 m lucente](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/547d4af5b4af9ffd228b4610/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Crust
• Thinnest Layer• Two types of crust :
Oceanic: made mostly igneous rock and Basalt. Found under ocean, thin
Continental: made mostly of granite. Found under continents, thick

Mantle
• Located above the outer core • Below the crust is where the mantle starts• Largest Layer• 80% of Earth’s volume & 68% of Earth’s mass• Composed of iron• Density, Temperature, And pressure increases the
deeper you go into the mantle• Lithosphere :upper, solid part of mantle• Asthenosphere: under lithosphere, solid rock flows very
slowly

Outer Core
• Surrounds inner core• Temp. : 2200c-5000c• Iron and Nickel, Liquid
![Page 6: Earth structure 2 m lucente](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/547d4af5b4af9ffd228b4610/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Inner Core
• Solid, iron and nickel• Temp. can reach to 5000c• Solid, because of the pressure put on the
core• Solid core is the source of Earth’s
magnetic field

Continental Drift
![Page 8: Earth structure 2 m lucente](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/547d4af5b4af9ffd228b4610/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Alfred Wegener
• First proposed the theory of continental Drift• Continental Drift was his theory that continents were
joined together then drifted apart• Named Pangaea a supercontinent• Theory was rejected because he couldn’t explain which
force pushes or pull continentsFound pieces of evidence: Geologic Climate Fossil1940s: Technology was developed

Climate
evidence in the changing climates during the past.

Geologic
• evidence in layers of rocks across continents.

FossilEvidence of fossils are found
in certain places
![Page 12: Earth structure 2 m lucente](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/547d4af5b4af9ffd228b4610/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Fossil
![Page 13: Earth structure 2 m lucente](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/547d4af5b4af9ffd228b4610/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Fossil
• Remains or physical evidence of an organism preserved by geological processes
• Preserved in sedimentary rock• Sediment slows down decay• Bones and shells are resistant to decay,
more commonly preserved tissue
![Page 14: Earth structure 2 m lucente](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/547d4af5b4af9ffd228b4610/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Examples
• Fossils in rock• Fossils in Amber• Petrification• Fossils in asphalt• Frozen fossil• Trace Fossil• Mold• Cast• Index Fossil
![Page 15: Earth structure 2 m lucente](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/547d4af5b4af9ffd228b4610/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Amber
• Harden tree sap
Bugs, lizard, and frogs
![Page 16: Earth structure 2 m lucente](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/547d4af5b4af9ffd228b4610/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Petrified Fossil
• A process in which minerals replace organism tissue
Types:• Space in bone/wood fills up with mineral• Organisms are replaced
by minerals
![Page 17: Earth structure 2 m lucente](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/547d4af5b4af9ffd228b4610/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Frozen
• Cold temperatures slow down decay• Many frozen fossil are preserved from last
ice age
![Page 18: Earth structure 2 m lucente](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/547d4af5b4af9ffd228b4610/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Fossil in asphalt
• Wells up in sticky, thick pools• Traps and preserves fossil in asphalt
![Page 19: Earth structure 2 m lucente](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/547d4af5b4af9ffd228b4610/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Trace Fossil
• Naturally preserved evidence of animal activity
• Footprints fill with sediment
Shows how big their
Footprint was.

Molds And Cast
• Mold: a cavity in a rock where a plant and animal was buried.
• Cast: an object created when sediment fills mold and becomes a rock.

Index Fossil
• Fossils of organisms that lived during a relatively short, well-defined geologic time span.

Geologic scale
• Divisions
Largest division is epoch
Second largest division- periods
Third largest division- eras

Eras
• Three eras:• Cenozoic: means “New Life”• Mesozoic: means “middle animals”• Paleozoic: means "ancient life"
