  • Plate tectonics geology
  • Major layer of the earth
    1.Crust
    2.Mantel
    3.Core
  • Crust
    The Earth's crust is the outermost layer of the Earth's surface, consisting of solid
  • Mantle
    The mantle is the layer of the Earth located between the crust and the core, composed of hot, solid rock.
  • Core: The Earth's core is the innermost layer of the planet, composed of a solid inner core and a liquid outer core.
    Inner core:The inner core is the solid, innermost layer of the Earth, primarily composed of iron and nickel.
    Lithos sphere:The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and the upper part of the mantle.
  • Kind of crust
    1. Continental crust:The continental crust is the thicker, less dense outer layer of the Earth's surface, primarily composed of granitic rocks.
    2. Oceanic crust:Oceanic crust is the thinner and denser type of Earth's crust found beneath the oceans, primarily composed of basaltic rocks.

  • Earthquake
    -An earthquake is a sudden and violent shaking of the ground caused by movements within the Earth's crust, leading to seismic waves and potential damage to structures and landscapes.
  • Wave
    Waves are oscillations that carry energy through a medium or space, characterized by their amplitude, frequency, and wavelength.
  • Wave (Secondary) waves -Secondary waves, also known as S-waves, are seismic waves that move through the Earth's interior, causing particles to move perpendicular to the wave's direction.
  • Mantle- mostly solid, silicate (crust and core) Intermediate zone
  • Lower mantle- is denser than upper mantle
  • Upper mantle - Very thick layer of rock
