Earth’s Interior (What’s down there below us?)

Inside the Earth Layers that Make Up the Earth. Composition (What it is made of) Crust Mantle Core.

Why do tectonic plates move?. Tectonic plates make up a part of Earth called the lithosphere. Litho- means rock and sphere- means ball. The lithosphere.

The Lithosphere There term lithosphere is in a variety of ways. The most general use is as: The lithosphere is the upper region of the crust and mantle.

What’s Inside?. The Earth’s Core – Almost as hot as the surface of the sun (due to radioactive decay) Escape of this inner heat drives geological activity.

Profile of Ocean Bathy Course Notes: 2.1

What’s “a”? Course Notes: 2.1

What is the Lithosphere? Course Notes: 2.2

What is the Lithosphere? 1. It is all the mat’l that moves with the migrating crustal surface. 2. It is all the mat’s that behaves as a solid on geologic time scales. Both definitions establish lithospheric base as a rheological, not compositional boundary such as the moho is defined. Since the main determinant of mantle rheology is temperature, we can place the base of the lithosphere at an isotherm. T = 1200 deg. C Why? Because lab experiments show that above this temp, mantle materials deform sufficiently rapidly to be considered fluids on geological time scales. Course Notes: 2.2

Conservation of Thermal Energy, a.k.a. The Heat Flow Problem Blackboard derivation Course Notes: 2.3

Evolution of Thermal Structure in Cooling Rock Column Course Notes: 2.3

Why the droop? The mean temp. of the lithosphere is cooler, and hence more dense, than the mantle. This urge to sink increases with lithospheric thickness, which increases with time subjected to cooling. Course Notes: 2.4 & 2.5
