Earth’s Structure
• Earth is composed of four layers:
1. Crust (outer layer): Thin and nearly all solid rock. Thickness of about 5-50 miles.
2. Mantle: Thickest layer, about 2,000 miles thick.3. Outer Core: about 1,400 miles thick- it is all liquid.4. Inner Core: Solid (due to high pressure). 750 miles
thick.

Think of a Peach…
A peach can be used as a model of the
earth.
The skin= the crust.The flesh= the mantle.
The pit= core.

Proposed the Theory of “continental drift” in 1912
Alfred Wegener was curious. He looked at the shapes of continents and the locations
of fossils to understand how continents were once connected.
When they are connected, they form a supercontinent. Alfred Wegener named this
large continent “Pangaea.” .

Over time, Pangaea split apart. Continents moved away from each other as the oceans between them grew wider. He called
his theory, or idea, “Continental Drift.”

What is the theory of continental drift?
• The idea that the continents were once all joined together in one super-continent called Pangaea and
slowly moved to their current positions

Evidence of Pangaea
• Continents look like they could be part of a giant jigsaw puzzle.• Plant and animal fossils found on the coastlines of different continents.• Measurements of movement• Rock layer sequences

What is Plate Tectonics?• The Earth's thin outer shell is broken into big
pieces called tectonic plates. • Plates Plates are slabs are slabs of Earth’s crust and upper
mantle. These plates fit together like a puzzle, but they're not stuck in one place. They are floating on the Earth's mantle (a really thick layer of hot flowing rock).

The Theory of Plate Tectonics• The surface of the Earth is composed of about a
dozen major rigid, moving crustal plates

What Causes the Plates to Move?
• Convection- hot magma rises, cool magma sinks (like a lava lamp)
![Page 13: Day 1. Earth’s Structure Earth is composed of four layers: 1.Crust (outer layer): Thin and nearly all solid rock. Thickness of about 5-50 miles. 2.Mantle:](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2a5503460f94c447ff/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• The flow of the mantle causes the plates to move in different directions.
• Plates move around on top of the mantle like
rafts.
![Page 14: Day 1. Earth’s Structure Earth is composed of four layers: 1.Crust (outer layer): Thin and nearly all solid rock. Thickness of about 5-50 miles. 2.Mantle:](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2a5503460f94c447ff/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• When the edges of plates meet, three things can happen:
• Divergent Boundaries: Group 1• Convergent Boundaries: Group 2• Sliding Boundaries: Group 3

In Your Group…Turn to page 209 in your textbook.
Find…1. Characteristics of your boundary.2. How it moves.3. What kind of land formation occurs due to your
boundary.• You will teach the class about your boundary.• You will also teach your classmates how your
boundary moves, so come up with a movement to show how it moves!

• Plates move away from each other.• Melted rock rises up between the plates and forms new crust• Usually happens in the middle of the ocean floor.• Forms volcanoes and new crust

Convergent boundary occurs when two plates converge, or move toward each other.
They eventually collide.
One plate may ride up over the other, while the other plate is pushed under the surface.
Convergent Boundary
There are three types of
convergent boundaries.
