Water Cycle
Distribution of Water on Earth
1. Water level on Earth is maintained by the
process called as water cycle.
2. Water cycle is a continuous process,
3. Thus, the amount of water contained in
Earth, on Earth’s surface and in the
atmosphere is always constant.
Earth’s Layers
1. Earth has 3 main layers based on its physical properties: crust, mantle and core.
2. Mantle: lithosphere, asthenosphere and mesosphere.
3. Lithosphere covers the crust and top part of the mantel.

agents such as water wind,
waves and glaciers. These
materials will be
sedimented when the
agent’s velocity decreases.
 Mantle convection process
High temperature in mantle
and the Earth’s core
produces convection currents
mantle
in the asthenosphere layer.
These currents are able to
move Earth’s crust.
Earth’s Crust Movement (Plate
Tectonics)
Theory of Plate Tectonics, the
Earth’s crust is divided into
several pieces of plates. These
plates constantly move resulting
in collision and divergence which
produce various landforms on
Earth and continental drifts. .
Endoge

forces from within the
Earth.
• Forms and chages the
Earth’s surface.
Magma Activity
Volcano is a vent on the Earth’s
crust that allows molten and hot
magma to flow out through atrong
eruption.
The erupted materials accumulate
around the slope of the vent and
form volcanic cones.

Igneous rocks: compression of deposited
materials carried by water, glacier and
wind.
Metamorphic rocks: very high pressure

2. Because igneous rocks forms from
magma which is not suitable for living
things.

Formative Practice 9.3

1. Exogenic : Process that happen on Earth’s surface.

Endogenic : Process that happen by the force
within the Earth.
2. Water, wind waves
3. A theory that states the Earth’s crust is divided into
several pieces of plates. These plates constantly move
resulting continental drifts.
9.4
Geohazard
Phenomena
Textbook: 265
Learning Objectives:
1. Communicate about geohazards.
2. Generate ideas on the importance of science
and technology to prepare for geohazards.
3. Realise that environmental disasters affect
human livelihood.
 Consequences of the Endogenic Process
1. Still remember what is Endogenic Process?
2. Endogenic process leads to the occurrence of geohazards. Tsunami
3. These are the examples of geohazards:

1. Geological time scale of the Earth.
2. Method to determine the age of the Earth.
3. Fossils
4. The importance of fossils.

Geological Time Scale
1. It is estimated that the Earth’s age is about 4.5 billion years: based on meteorites
obtained.
2. Geologists define a long period of time is ERA.
3. Each era is divided into difference PERIODS.
4. There are 3 eras:

Paleozoic Mesozoic Cenzoic

6 periods 3 periods 2 periods

 Fossil
● Definition: Earth’s materials such as
plants, animals and insects that have
been submerged and burried for a
long period of time.
● Word fossils originates from Latin
word “fossilis”: obtained from
digging.
● Carbon dating is a technique used to
determine the age of the fossils.
Importance of fossils to current scientific
development:

● Provide information about

evolution of animals and plants
over million years.
● Provide information about
species that have gone extinct.

 Rare earth minerals
1. Even though almost all rare earth minerals can
be found in abundance, it is not easy to
separate them as an element.
2. Rare earth minerals have unique properties
makes them important in modern technology.
3. Computers, DVDs, communication devices
and other technologies use rare earth minerals.
4. Example: Neodymium, a type of rare earth
minerals which is used to make very strong,
permanent magnet in electronic devices
including smartphone.
