  1. INTERIOR OF EARTH FORCES EXOGENIC ENDOGENIC

  2. EVIDENCES OF EARTH INTERIOR INDIRECT SOURCES DIRECT SOURCES • Temperature • Pressure • Density • Study of Meteors • Gravity Anomaly • Magnetic Survey • Seismic Activity • Deep Ocean drilling Project • Integrated Ocean Drilling Project • Volcanic Eruption

  3. EARTHQUAKES • Shaking of Earth due to some internal or external disturbance. Epicentre Focus

  4. EARTHQUAKE WAVES Surface waves Body waves L waves S waves P waves P-wave: like sound wave, travel through all medium, propagate in the direction of wage, increase density of rock S-wave: Secondary wave, Cannot travel through liquid, propagate perpendicular to direction of wave L-wave: Surface wave, Cause of destruction on earth

  5. CORE SHADOW ZONE 1030 1030 S-Wave Shadow Zone

  6. CORE 1030 1030 P-Wave Shadow Zone SHADOW ZONE 1420 1420

  7. TYPES OF EARTHQUAKES Tectonic Mining Volcanic Explosion

  8. Tectonic Earthquakes generates due to sliding of rocks along fault plane. • Volcanic earthquakes originates due to volcanic explosion. • Mining earthquakes originates due to collapse of roofs of underground mines. • Explosion earthquakes originate due to chemical and nuclear explosion. • Reservoir add pressure of water in a region which give rise to imbalance of earth surface and cause earthquakes.

  9. EFFECTS OF EARTHQUAKES • Ground Displacement • Floods from dam and levee failures • Fires • Structural Collapse • Falling Objects • Tsunami • Ground Shaking • Differential ground settlement • Land and mud Slides • Soil Liquefaction • Ground Lurching • Avalanches

  10. STRUCTURE OF EARTH Asthenosphere Mantle, 3.4g/m 2900KM Crust 30 to 70Km, 3g/m Core/ Nife 5100KM Moho discontinuity

  11. Crust: It is the top most layer of earth surface. • It extends upto 30km over continental crust and 5km in oceanic crust. • Its average density is 3g/com3 • Mantle extends from MOho’s discontinuity to a depth of 2900km • Upper mantle is known as Asthenosphere from where volcano originates. • Its density is 3.4g/cm3 • Core extends from 2900km to 6370km. It is also known as nife. Its density ranges from 5- 13 g/cm3 It is divided into inner core and outer core. Inner core is in solid for where as outer is in liquid.

  12. VOLCANOES • Shield Volcanoes • Composite Volcanoes • Caldera • Flood Basalt Province • Mid-Oceanic Ridge Volcanoes

  13. Shield Volcanoes are the largest of all volcanoes where fluid comes out with low explosion. Ex. Howaiian • Composite Volcanos are characterized by eruption of cooler and viscus lavas which accumulate in the vicinity. • Caldera volcanoes are most explosive where the mouth of volcano collapse and form a large depression. • Flood Basalt Province are outpouring of highly fluid lava which flows to a long distance. E.g. Deccan Trap • Mid-Oceanic Ridge volcanoes occur in the oceanic areas where central ridge experiences frequent eruptions. Ex. Mid-Atlantic ridges.

  14. Volcanic Landforms Intrusive Landforms (Plutonic rocks) Extrusive Landforms • Batholiths: Large dome, Deeper depth, • Lacoliths: Large dome shaped, pipe-like conduct, resemble like composite volcano • Lapolith: Horizontal, saucershape, concave to sky • Phacolith: Wavy mass, definite conduit • Sills: Horizontal, thick • Dykes:Vertical, western Maharastra
