Geologic Structure is the study of the components that make up a certain object Earth’s geologic structure is composed of different layers ranging from five to 6,360 kilometers thick Layers of the Earth : Layers of the Earth Crust Lithosphere Mantle Upper Mantle Lithosphere Athenosphere Lower Mantle Mesosphere Core Inner Core Outer Core Earth’s Layers : Earth’s Layers Crust Mantle Core Lithosphere Asthenosphere Mesosphere Outer Core Inner Core Crust : Crust Surface Layer Part of Lithosphere Contains all tectonic plates Millions of years ago Earth consisted of one supercontinent- Pangea Mantle : Mantle Consists of dense, iron rich materials Includes Asthenosphere Contains Slow-flowing rock Also encompasses Mesosphere Contains solid rock Core : Core Two Components Outer Core Shell to Inner Core Generates Magma Contains Nickel and Liquid Iron Inner Core Contains Nickel and Solid Iron Seismic Waves : Seismic Waves Predecessors of Earthquakes Vibrations travel through all layers of Earth Direction and speed are constantly changing Assists in determining the geologic structure Also helps in revealing Earth’s history Outer Core Bibliography : Bibliography Structure of the Earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
