Lithosphere
By: Brennan Walker, Mohamad Osman, Rodney Robinson

2. Definition
The Lithosphere is the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle

3. The Lithosphere vocab
Crust
Mantle
Upper Mantle
Outer core
Inner core

4. The Crust It includes both dry land and ocean floor
Layer of earth's outer skin.
The crust is three to four miles deep

5. The Mantle Layer of solid, hot rock 25 miles beneath the surface.
The Mantle is divided into 3 parts.
The Lithosphere is the uppermost part of the mantle.
The Asthenosphere is below the Lithosphere and is the softer part of the Mantle.
The final layer of the mantle is the Lower Mantle, which leads to the core of the Earth.

6. Inside The Core The Core is made of iron and nickel.
It has 2 parts inside the earth. Those parts our the Outer Core and Inner Core.
The Outer Core covers the Inner Core, and is the layer of molten metal.
The Inner Core is surrounded by the molten metal known as the Outer Core and is a dense hot solid metal.

7. Plate Tectonics
a theory where the outer rigid layer is broken up into different plates that moves across the earth.
When the edges of the plates meet, its called plate boundaries.
The 3 types of plate boundaries are Transform Boundary, Convergent Boundary and Divergent Boundary.

9. Transform Boundary
Transform Boundaries are plates that slip past each other moving in opposite directions.

10. Divergent Boundary
The Divergent Boundaries are plates that split apart, creating a Mid-Ocean Ridge.

11. Convergent Boundary
Convergent Boundaries are when 2 plates come into each other creating mountain ranges and one might go under the other and create a ocean trench.

12. Volcano
Is a mountain that has a crater which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas that erupts from the earths crust. There are 5 different types of Volcanoes.
Dormant Volcano
Shield Volcano
Extinct Volcano
Cinder Cone Volcano
Composite Volcano

13. Dormant Volcano
1 that has not erupted recently but predicted to erupt again
Ex. Mt St. Helens

14. Shield Volcano
A domed volcano with sloping slides, eruption of fluid, basaltic lava.
Ex. Mauna Loa

15. Extinct Volcano
Not erupted for at least 10,000 years and it’s not expected to erupt again
Ex. Yellowstone Caldera

16. Cinder Cone Volcano
Steep hill that has glassy volcanic Fragments that collects around from a volcanic vent
Ex. Paricutin

17. Composite Volcano
Volcano built up by many layers of hardened lava, tephra, pumice, and volcanic ash.
Ex. Mount Fuji

18. Earthquakes
An earthquake is when the ground shakes and vibrates due to the movement of the earth’s crust.

19. Points of Earthquakes
Seismic waves are waves that transport energy of an earthquake away from the focus.
Focus- is under the earth surface for when the rock breaks, it causes an earthquake.
Epicenter- is right above the focus point.

22. Test Questions 2. What is a convergent boundary.
when 2 plates come into each other creating mountain ranges and one might go under the other and create a ocean trench.
When a linear feature that exist between two that are moving away from each other.
A type of fault whose relative motion is predominantly horizontal
