Bell Ringer 1. What physical layer of the Earth makes up all of the crust and the very upper portion of the mantle? 2. The core can be broken up into the inner core and the outer core. What is the difference between them? 3. Why is the core of the Earth mostly metal and not rocky at all?

Earth Structure

How do we know what’s inside the Earth? Drill a hole. . . a very deep hole! Examine meteorites. Study magnetic properties. “Listen” to earthquakes.

Drilling a Hole Ocean drilling program We have barely scratched the surface of the crust. Deepest hole penetrated 2,111 m (1.31 mi) Leg 148, E Pacific Ocean Shallowest water depth: 37.5 m (123 ft) Leg 143, NW Pacific Ocean Greatest water depth: 5,980 m (3.72 mi) Leg 129, W Pacific Ocean Mohorovicic discontinuity: called moho why would they have picked ocean for hole? discuss thickness of crust and how far one could realistically have gone. 30-40 km under stable platform, 60 km under mountains. Ocean: 5-10 km. drilling: we haven’t gotten past the crust yet

Direct Observations Inclusions in Volcanic Eruptions Pieces of rock from deep in the Earth are brought up in “hot-liquid-magma” as it rises to the surface

Inferences from Meteorites Stony Chondrite Iron Stony Achondrite

Iron meteorites

Rocky-Iron Where would this come from?

Why is a magnetic field created in the outer core Why is a magnetic field created in the outer core? [Lines below represent the field.]

Recipe for a magnetic field. Something that conducts electricity A liquid

What does this tell us about the outer core? It’s made of something that conducts electricity (probably iron) It’s a liquid

What happens to waves when they move into material that is denser? They refract, or bend, as shown here! Same density everywhere Gradually increasing density

There are sharp changes in the composition of the earth with increasing depth Shadow zone for S waves?

Seismic waves reveal the more complete picture of the earth’s deep interior…

Layers of the Earth (Composition) Crust 2.7 – 3.0 g/cm3 5 – 30 km thick Mantle 3.2 – 5.0 g/cm3 2,900 km thick Core 10.8 g/cm3 3,500 km thick

Lithosphere Asthenosphere Mesosphere Outer Core Inner Core Layers of the Earth (Physical properties) Lithosphere Solid & rigid - 10 km 300 km thick Asthenosphere Temperature and pressure combine to allow rock to partially melt Mesosphere Higher pressure offsets higher temperatures Outer Core Liquid, Flow creates magnetic field Inner Core Solid
