•Its made up of
continental crust
and oceanic crust.
It is made up of less
dense granitic
rocks.
Oceanic Crust
The crust that
underlies the ocean
floor is called the
oceanic crust, which
has an average
thickness of 5 km.
It is made up of
denser granitic
rocks.
Mantle
It is composed of ferro-
magnesium silicate rocks.
Mantle
Mohorovicic
discontinuity,
also known as
moho, is the
interface
between the
crust and the
mantle.
Interfaces between layers
The Gutenberg
discontinuity
marks the
boundary
between the
mantle and
outer core.
Interfaces between layers
The Lehmann
discontinuity,
is located
between the
liquid outer
core and the
solid inner
core.
Mapping the Inner Earth
Scientist learned
more about the
inner earth, by
examining the waves
of energy called
seismic waves,
which travel through
the planet when an
earthquake occurs.
Two types of Seismic Waves
Body Waves Surface Waves
Body Waves
P Waves S Waves
P Waves
Also known as Primary
waves.
Causes the
ground to move
back and forth in
a snake-like
movement.
Rayleigh Waves
Move in a circular
manner, similar to
rolling on the ground
and cause buildings to
heave up and down
and side to side.
The theory
proposed by
German scientist
Alfred Wegener
in the early
1990s.
Evidences
Glossopteris
Mesosaurus
Lystosaurus
Evidence from Rocks
Some mountains are
folded mountains
formed from rocks in
Earth’s crust that
have been crumpled
by forces within
Earth.
These mountains
made of folded rocks
of the same age and
type have been found
across different
places.
Coal Deposits
Coal beds were
formed from the
compaction and
decomposition of
swamp plants that
lived million years
ago
Proposed by an
American
geologist,
professor, and
military officer
Harry Hess in
the 1960s.
Seafloor Spreading Theory
According to this
theory, hot, less
dense material
from below the
Earth’s crust rises
towards the
surface at the
mid-ocean ridge.
Seafloor Spreading Theory
This material flows
sideways carrying the
seafloor away from
the ridge, and creates
a crack in the crust.
According to the
theory of plate
tectonics, the
lithosphere is
made up of
plates that are
continually
moving.
Plates
Continental Oceanic
Plates under Below the ocean.
landmasses.
Divergent boundaries
between oceanic plates
produce mid-ocean ridges,
which refer to mountain
ranges under water.
No mountains or
volcanoes produced.
Instead, earthquakes
result from the
movement of plates,
and release a massive
