This module will help you visualize and

understand the composition and structure of the Earth’s
Interior. It that will help you describe the different layers of
the Earth as well as understand their characteristics.
You will also learn concepts that explain the
physical changes that it underwent in the past. This module
also consists of activities that will help you develop your
critical thinking skills to have a deeper understanding about
the planet where you live.

II. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?

Earth - is the third planet from the sun.

- is believed to existent for 450 million years
and evidences are form 225 million years.
- the distance of the earth from the sun is 149,600,000 km.
- the surface of the earth is 510,072,000 km.

The Surface of the Earth is composed mainly of Layers:

Crust
Mantle
Outer Core

Inner Core

Crust
 The outermost layer of the Earth.
a.Continental Crust-composed of granitic rocks.
b.Oceanic Crust- composed of basaltic igneous rocks.

Mantle
 Where the most internal heat of the earth is located it is about 2900 km thick the
high temperature and pressure allows the solid rock to flow slowly.
a.Lithosphere- is the outer part of the mantle immediately below the Mohorovicic
discontinuity.
b.Mohorovicic discontinuity-usually referred to as Moho is the transition boundary.
c.Asthenosphere-is a two seismic velocityzone where rocks and at/or near melting
point.
 Outer Core
 Is a hot liquid layer comprisingly mainly of Nickel and liquid and Iron.

Inner Core
 Is mostly made of solid Iron and little amount of nickel.

Seismic Waves
Seismology
 Is the study of earthquakes and seismic waves that move through and around the
earth.
Seismologist
 Is a scientist who studies earthquakes and seismic waves.
Seismic Wave
 Are the waves of energy caused by sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an
explosion.
Seismograph
 A device that measures and records the movement of the earth during an
earthquake.
Seismogram
 The record of an earthquake tremor by a seismograph.

Body Waves-can Surface Waves-travelling

only through a crust,surface wave
travel through the are of a lower frequency than the
earth inner layers. body waves are easily
distinguished on a seismogram.

1.Primary Wave – this is the fastest
kind of seismic wave and the first to
arrive at a seismic station.
2.Secondary Wave- which is the s to
conclude that the earth’s outer core
is liquid.
1.Love Wave-it is the fastest surface
wave and moves the ground side to
side.
2.Rayleigh Wave-rolls along the
ground just like a wave rolls across
the lake or an ocean.

Earth’s interior is made up of a
series layers that sit below the
surface crust. In order of depth,
these layers include the solid, but
flowing mantle, the liquid outer
core and the solid iron inner core,
which helps create earth’s
protective magnetic field. The layers
can also be categorized into the rigid
outer lithosphere (which includes
the crust and top portion of the
mantle and makes up Earth’s
tectonics plates) and
asthenosphere, the portion of the
mantle that is solid, but made up to
hot, weak, flowing rock.
