Earth’s LayersThe Earth's rocky outer crust solidified billions of years ago, soon after the Earth formed.
This crust is not a solid shell; it is broken up into huge, thick plates that drift atop the soft, underlying mantle.

The Crust
• Outermost layer• 5 – 100 km thick• Made of Oxygen, Silicon, Aluminum
![Page 4: Plate Tectonics Liz LaRosa for use with my 5 th Grade Science Class 2009 .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649f4e5503460f94c6fc45/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Mantle• Layer of Earth
between the crust and the core
• Contains most of the Earth’s mass
• Has more magnesium and less aluminum and silicon than the crust
• Is denser than the crust
![Page 5: Plate Tectonics Liz LaRosa for use with my 5 th Grade Science Class 2009 .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649f4e5503460f94c6fc45/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Core
• Below the mantle and to the center of the Earth
• Believed to be mostly Iron, smaller amounts of Nickel, almost no Oxygen, Silicon, Aluminum, or Magnesium

Tectonic Plates
![Page 7: Plate Tectonics Liz LaRosa for use with my 5 th Grade Science Class 2009 .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649f4e5503460f94c6fc45/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Plate Tectonics
• Greek – “tektonikos” of a builder• Pieces of the lithosphere that move around• Each plate has a name• Fit together like jigsaw puzzles• Float on top of mantle similar to ice cubes
in a bowl of water

Continental Drift
http://members.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/astronomy/planets/earth/Continents.shtml
Alfred Wegener 1900’sContinents were once a single land mass that drifted apart.
Fossils of the same plants and animals are found on different continents
Called this supercontinent Pangea, Greek for “all Earth”
245 Million years ago
Split again – Laurasia & Gondwana 180 million years ago

Sea Floor Spreading
![Page 11: Plate Tectonics Liz LaRosa for use with my 5 th Grade Science Class 2009 .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649f4e5503460f94c6fc45/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Sea Floor Spreading
• Mid Ocean Ridges – underwater mountain chains that run through the Earth’s Basins
• Magma rises to the surface and solidifies and new crust forms
• Older Crust is pushedfarther away from the ridge

Divergent Plate Boundaries
• Plates separate• Usually on ocean floor• New rocks formed• Called rift valley• Examples: Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Iceland (above
sea level)

Convergent Plate BoundariesOcean-Continental
• More dense plate subducts when plates converge
• Oceanic crust subducts under continental plate
• Forms volcanic mountain chains to east of subduction
• Deep earthquakes to the west of subduction

• More dense plate subducts, often both plates are of same density
• Major mountain ranges form

• Name the 3 main layers of the Earth• What is a tectonic plate?• What was Pangea?• What is Sea-Floor spreading?• Name the three different types of plate
boundaries and one location on Earth for each one
