Deep Earth - What is below our feet and how do we know? Intro to the deep earth What is your image of the deep earth What do we know about the deep earth How do scientists know about the deep earth P-wave /Spirograph Exercise Crossword puzzle Rethink your image of the deep earth

So what does the deep earth look like? Take out a piece of paper and draw your image of the interior of the earth.

What do we know about the interior of the earth ? Layers How Deep have we drilled Temperature differences Volcanoes Earthquakes Dynamic not static Solid and liquid

Kola Penninsula Deepbore Hole 1972 – ,262 Meters Exploration of earths crust by USSR Layers of the earth

fast slow VPVP Temperature variation with depth( km)

Volcanoes and Earthquakes

The earth is a dynamic sphere of solid and liquid movement

How do scientists know about the deep earth Take out a piece of paper and your spirograph.
