  1. Earth Structure Recap. Use arrows to locate the labels on the left hand side. Say which is the odd one out and explain why. Why are the core and mantle of the Earth so hot and how does this heat affect life on the surface of the planet?

  2. Contrasting Crustal Components A sample of Granite A sample of Basalt • 2.9 grams per cm cubed • Cools quickly close to the surface or as lava erupted from a volcano. • Contains less than 20% Quartz and large amounts of Magnesium. • 2.6 grams per cm cubed • Cools under ground slowly from magma allowing large cristals to grow. • Contains mostly Silica with at least 20% Quartz. In your exam you may be asked to CONTRAST geographic features or processes. This means say how they are DIFFERENT. Exam question (4 marks) Contrast the two types of the Earths crust. There are two types of Crust, Oceanic and Continental. Continental crust is light with a density 2.6 times that of water, it also has a lot of Silicon. Oceanic crust is called basalt which is a dark rock which has cooled quickly so has small cristals. It has a high density of 2.9 as it has dense minerals in it. How many marks would you give the answer above and why? What words can you use to contrast the two types of crust? However, on the other hand, alternatively, whereas Denser, Darker, more slowly, larger cristals Extension Exam question (8 marks) Describe two different types of the earths crust and explain what happens when they collide and why.
