D38 Beneath Earth’s Surface

D38 Background When volcanoes erupt, magma is released. Where does this magma come from? CHALLENGE QUESTION: What is beneath the Earth’s surface?

D38 Glass Elevator Imagine you are in a glass elevator traveling to the center of the Earth. Draw a circle with a dot in the middle to represent the Earth and its center. Now draw, label, and color everything you “see”, putting them at their necessary depth. Write the distance you believe it is to the center of the Earth in kilometers (km). Put an “X” where you think nuclear waste should be stored, and label that depth in km.

D38 On Earth’s Surface: Reading 1 A Volcano is an opening in the Earth where magma and gas erupt. Gases in the magma build up pressure to force it up and through gaps in the Earth’s surface, causing eruption. Lava: magma (melted rock) that erupted Lava cools and forms volcanic rock. Over time volcanic rock and ash can form a mountain or hill around the opening, called a volcano.

D38 On Earth’s Surface: Reading 2 Volcanic eruptions are not all alike. Some are gentle with lava slowly seeping from a vent. Other eruptions are violent with lava, ash, and other materials thrown high into the air. Eruptions cause different volcanic mountain shapes such as composite, cinder, and shield.

D38 On Earth’s Surface: Reading 3 There is a lot of evidence of Earth volcanoes. Many mountains have been formed from the volcanoes that are extinct or dormant. Yucca Mountain was formed from volcanic material exploding from a composite volcano that is now extinct. The 7 dormant volcanoes near Yucca Mountain are cinder cones.

D38 Composite Volcano These have explosive eruptions caused by more gassy magma. They are formed from layers of lava and ash.

D38 Cinder Cone Volcanoes These are the smallest and most common. They form from explosive eruptions shooting small pieces of magma and ash into the air. The magma then cools and hardens as it falls back to the Earth, forming a cinder cone. Often cinder cones form on the sides of larger volcanoes.

D38 Shield Volcanoes These usually form large, broad volcanoes. They release fast-moving, less gassy lava and have less explosive eruptions than other types. People can often walk fairly close to these erupting volcanoes.

D38 Inside Earth: Earthquakes 1 Early evidence about the inside of the Earth came from volcanic eruptions. Recently the learning is from newer technology & methods. Scientists have also learned from earthquakes. Earthquake waves move through materials in different ways and at different speeds. They move faster through more dense solids and slower through less dense solids. The waves move slowest through liquids.

D38 Inside Earth: Earthquakes 2 Scientists measure an earthquake’s waves at different places on Earth’s surface. By analyzing and comparing the data from many earthquakes, they have been able to determine the state (solid, liquid, or gas) of the material inside the Earth.

D38 Inside Earth: Earth Layers 1 We now know that rocks on the surface are only a tiny fraction of what makes the planet. Think of Earth as an egg. The thickness of the eggshell would represent the thickness of all the rocks at the surface. Beneath an eggshell is egg white and yolk.

D38 Inside Earth: Earth Layers 2 What is beneath the rocks of Earth’s surface? Earth has 3 layers: Crust, Mantle, and Core. The core is made up of both a solid layer (the inner core) and liquid layer (outer core).

D38 Inside Earth: Layers 3 Magma often comes from the mantle layer. It collects underground and builds up pressure before exploding toward the surface. The mantle is almost 3000 km thick, similar to the distance from New York City to Denver, CO The mantle top is more solid than the bottom. Lithosphere: combination of the solid crust & upper mantle down to 100 km below surface.

D38 Talking Drawing 1a Get a Talking Drawing 1 worksheet: 1.Record distance to the center of the Earth. 2.Record distance from Earth’s surface to its center on the drawing (in centimeters). 3.How many km=1cm? This is called a scale. 4.Record lowest depth of each Earth layer (km). 5.Use your scale and a calculator to determine the scaled depth of each Earth layer (cm).

D38 Talking Drawing 1b 6. Use rulers to measure the depth of each layer starting from Earth’s surface. Draw a circle at each depth but do the crust location last. 7. Label each layer with name, state, and temp. 8. Label lithosphere and record its depth in km. 9. Nuclear waste is often stored at a depth of about 0.3 km (300 meters or 1000 feet). Put an “X” on that layer of your drawing. 10. Compare this drawing with your first one.

D38 Beneath Earth Analysis: Date____ Name____________________ Hour__ Copy and Explain using 1 paragraph each: 1.Which layer(s) of the Earth is (or are): a. hottest b. at Earth’s center c. completely solid 1.Copy these five words or phrases: outer core, mantle, lithosphere, solid, crust a. Cross out the word (phrase) that does not belong. b. Circle the word that includes all the other words. c. Explain how the word circled relates to the others.
