Schedule: Earth’s Layers Notes Homework: 6.1 Vocabulary Objective: I can understand important information about Earth’s layers Please Have on Desk: Earth Structure Visual

5. A Journey from the Inside Out: Introduction: The Earth’s layered structure is the result of three factors: temperature, pressure, and density - affecting different Earth substances.

6. A Journey from the Inside Out: Inner Core: Solid but hot (7500 o C) metals (Nickel and Iron); intense pressure (13 g/cm 3 ); 2400 km diameter.

7. A Journey from the Inside Out: Outer Core: Hot but cooler (4400- 6100 o C) metals; less pressure so a liquid; 2300 km thick; creates magnetic field.

8. A Journey from the Inside Out: Mantle: Hot rock (rich in iron, magnesium and calcium), less dense than core (3.4 g/cm 3 ); 2900 km thick.

9. A Journey from the Inside Out: Asthenosphere: Layer of hot soft rock in the upper mantle that can move like thick paste.

10. A Journey from the Inside Out: Crust: Thin layer of cool rock; 6-70 km thick. Two types - continental (2.7 g/cm 3 ); granite) and oceanic (3.0 g/cm 3 ); basalt).

11. A Journey from the Inside Out: Lithosphere: Most rigid earth layer; crust + upper mantle; sits on asthenosphere.

12. Wednesday, December 3 rd Entry Task Draw a diagram showing and labeling Earth’s four layers. Identify the lithosphere and the asthenosphere on your diagram.
