Earth’s Interior Two ways of looking at Earth’s layers: chemical properties (what minerals are there) physical properties (how the minerals behave: solid, liquid, etc.)

Earth’s Interior, Chemically Crust (1 and 2) ex: granite and basalt Mantle (3 and 4) more presence of iron and magnesium Core (5 and 6) mostly iron, other metals

Earth’s Interior, Physically Lithosphere (1, 2, and upper 3) rigid, the so-called “plates” Asthenosphere (lower 3) partially molten, can flow over long periods

Picking Your Boundary

Picking Your Boundary (ctd.) Must be convergent or divergent, in your region. Maximum variety encouraged. For convergent, is it… Continental-continental Continental-oceanic Oceanic-oceanic For divergent, is it…
