  1. Journey to the Center of the Earth What would I find if I journeyed to the center of the Earth?

  2. How did the layers form?

  3. How did the layers form? • The Earth’s layers were formed because of density.

  4. How did the layers form? • The Earth’s layers were formed because of density. • The heavier, more dense, materials were pulled in more by gravity.

  5. How did the layers form? • The Earth’s layers were formed because of density. • The heavier, more dense, materials were pulled in more by gravity. • Lighter, less dense, materials were not pulled in as much by gravity.

  6. What are the layers made of?

  7. What are the layers made of? • Inner Core: solid iron (Fe) and Nickel (Ni).

  8. What are the layers made of? • Inner Core: solid iron (Fe) and Nickel (Ni). • Pressure is 48 to 52 million psi.

  9. What are the layers made of? • Inner Core: solid iron (Fe) and Nickel (Ni). • Pressure is 48 to 52 million psi. • Temperatures range from about 9,000 to 12,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

  10. What are the layers made of? • Outer core: liquid iron (Fe) and Nickel (Ni).

  11. What are the layers made of? • Outer core: liquid iron (Fe) and Nickel (Ni). • Temperatures range from about 4,400 to 6,100 degrees Fahrenheit.

  12. What are the layers made of? • Outer core: liquid iron (Fe) and Nickel (Ni). • Temperatures range from about 4,400 to 6,100 degrees Fahrenheit. • It is believed that the Earth’s magnetism is produced here.

  13. What are the layers made of? • Mantle:

  14. What are the layers made of? • Mantle: • Made of various minerals (Iron (Fe), Magnesium (Mg), Aluminum (Al), Silicon (Si), and Oxygen silicates ) that are in constant motion.

  15. What are the layers made of? • Mantle: • Made of various minerals (Iron (Fe), Magnesium (Mg), Aluminum (Al), Silicon (Si), and Oxygen silicates ) that are in constant motion. • Temperatures of up to 6,700 degrees Fahrenheit.

  16. What are the layers made of? • Crust:

  17. What are the layers made of? • Crust: The top layer of the Earth

  18. What are the layers made of? • Crust: The top layer of the Earth • The two types are continental and oceanic.

  19. What are the layers made of? • Crust: The top layer of the Earth • The two types are continental and oceanic. • Made of mostly Silicon (Si), Aluminum (Al), Calcium (Ca), Sodium (Na), and Potassium (K)

  20. What are the layers made of? • Crust: The top layer of the Earth • The two types are continental and oceanic. • Made of mostly Silicon (Si), Aluminum (Al), Calcium (Ca), Sodium (Na), and Potassium (K) • Fractures during earthquakes.

  21. Where is the lithosphere?

  22. Where is the lithosphere? • The lithosphere contains:

  23. Where is the lithosphere? • The lithosphere contains: • The crust.

  24. Where is the lithosphere? • The lithosphere contains: • The crust. • A small layer of the upper mantle.

  25. Where is the lithosphere? • The lithosphere contains: • The crust. • A small layer of the upper mantle. • Large chunks or plates that move gradually because they ride on hotter parts of the mantle.

  26. Where is the lithosphere? • The lithosphere contains: • The crust. • A small layer of the upper mantle. • Large chunks or plates that move gradually because they ride on hotter parts of the mantle. • These “chunks” or plates make up the surface of the Earth.
