THE EARTH’S LAYERS Continued. TO REVIEW!! The crust is less than 1% of Earth by mass. The mantle (inner and outer) represents about 68% of Earth by mass.

Density increases the deeper in Earth you go. This is because as you go deeper into the earth, pressure, and temperature increase. The inner core.

The Insides of Earth!!

Heat of Formation The Earth is hot because when it formed bigger and bigger pieces of matter collided (clumping/accretion) until it was super hot. Friction. Accretion: When pieces of matter collide to form bigger and bigger chunks.

Radioactive Decay The earth would have cooled down by now if it weren’t for radioactive decay. Unstable atoms (like Uranium) are under pressure inside Earth and shoot off high energy particles. These heat up the insides of Earth.

Radioactive decay keeps Earth’s insides Hot!

Earth’s Layers There are two ways to organize the insides of Earth – by composition and by physical properties. Composition: What something is made of (types of materials, kinds of rock or metal, density) Physical properties: How something behaves (liquid, solid, semi-solid)

By composition Crust: 0-35 km Mantle: 35-2890 km Core: 2890-6360 km Continental Crust: igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary rock Oceanic Crust is mostly Basalt (pretty dense) Mantle: 35-2890 km Very dense rock Core: 2890-6360 km Iron and Nickel

By physical Features (or mechanical features) Lithosphere: Solid, Brittle layer (includes crust and part of Mantle) Asthenosphere: Semi liquid/molten layer (Upper Mantle) Mesosphere: More solid layer (outside Outer core) Outer core: Liquid Inner Core: Solid Why are the layers in a strange order? It’s a balance of pressure vs. heat

Composition: What material it’s made of (Type of rock or metal, etc…) Physical Property: State of matter (liquid, solid, semi solid, etc…) Physical Properties
