What % of Earth radius is lithosphere?~2%

Egg radius = 0.75 inch

Egg shell thickness = 0.015 inch

What % of egg radius is shell?

2%

Convection Currents inside the MANTLE

Plates are driven by cooling of Earth.
Gravity provides additional force to move plates.

Modified from USGS Graphics

Convection is like a boiling pot.

Plate tectonics
Convection in Earths interior is like a boiling pot.

Modified from USGS Graphics

The heated soup rises to the surface, spreads and begins to cool, and then
sinks back to the bottom of the pot where it is reheated and rises again.

Earths Structure and Materials

Table of Contents
Earths Interior
Convection and the Mantle
Classifying Rocks
Igneous and Metamorphic Rock
Sedimentary Rocks
The Rock Cycle

Earths Interior
Waves
Paths of ocean waves change when the waves reach an
island.

Earths Interior
Earths Crust
The circle graph shows the composition of Earths
crust.

Earths Interior
Mantle Piece
Earths mantle is nearly 3,000 kilometers thick. The
rigid lithosphere rests on the softer material of the
asthenosphere.

Earths Interior
The Core of It
Earths core consists of two separate layers.
Where do these terms go on the Venn diagram?

Earths Interior
Temperature Inside Earth
The graph shows how temperatures change between
Earths surface and the core.

Earths Interior
Earths Magnetic Field
Earths magnetic field has a north and south pole,
like the magnetic field at each end of a bar magnet.

Convection and the Mantle

Mantle Convection
Heat from the core
and the mantle itself
causes convection
currents in the
mantle.

Classifying Rocks
Rock Origins
Rocks are classified by the way they formed.

Igneous and Metamorphic Rock

Igneous Rock Origins and
Textures
The texture of igneous rock
varies according to its origin.

Sedimentary Rocks

How Sedimentary Rock Forms

Sedimentary rocks form through a
series of processes over millions
of years.

Sedimentary Rocks
What is the proper sequence of the terms in the word
bank that will show how mountains can change into
sedimentary rock?

Sedimentary Rocks
Organic Rocks
How do coal and limestone form?

The Rock Cycle

The Rock Cycle

Through melting,
weathering and
erosion, and heat
and pressure, the
rock cycle
constantly changes
rocks from one type
into another type.

The Rock Cycle

Patterns in the Rock

Cycle: Surface
Events
All of the paths of
the rock cycle
result from only a
few surface and
subsurface
processes. What
words belong in the
empty boxes in the
graphic organizer?

The Rock Cycle

Surface and Subsurface Events: the Tibetan Plateau
Processes on and underneath Earths surface drive the
rock cycle in mountains on the Tibetan Plateau.

The Rock Cycle

The Rock Cycle and Plate Tectonics
New rock forms on the ocean floor of the Atlantic
Ocean, forming a ridge. Here, two plates move apart.
