Table of Contents Earth’s Interior Convection and the Mantle Classifying Rocks

This educational resource covers topics such as Earth's interior, convection in the mantle, classifying rocks, the rock cycle, and the formation of sedimentary rocks. It also includes a graph showing temperature changes inside Earth and a graphic organizer on the patterns in the rock cycle.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Earth’s Structure and Materials Table of Contents Earth’s Interior Convection and the Mantle Classifying Rocks Igneous and Metamorphic Rock Sedimentary Rocks The Rock Cycle

  2. Earth’s Interior Waves Paths of ocean waves change when the waves reach an island.

  3. Earth’s Interior Earth’s Crust The circle graph shows the composition of Earth’s crust.

  4. Earth’s Interior Mantle Piece Earth’s mantle is nearly 3,000 kilometers thick. The rigid lithosphere rests on the softer material of the asthenosphere.

  5. Order of Earth’s Layers • Crust • Mantle (lithosphere which includes crust and asthenosphere) • Outer Core • Inner Core

  6. Earth’s Interior Temperature Inside Earth The graph shows how temperatures change between Earth’s surface and the core. ***Can you read this graph?

  7. Convection and the Mantle How does a Lava Lamp Model Convection Currents? Mantle Convection Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in the mantle.

  8. Classifying Rocks Rock Origins Rocks are classified by the way they formed.

  9. Sedimentary Rocks How Sedimentary Rock Forms Sedimentary rocks form through a series of processes over millions of years.

  10. Sedimentary Rocks What is the proper sequence of the terms in the word bank that will show how mountains can change into sedimentary rock?

  11. The Rock Cycle The Rock Cycle Through melting, weathering and erosion, and heat and pressure, the rock cycle constantly changes rocks from one type into another type.

  12. The Rock Cycle Patterns in the Rock Cycle: Surface Events All of the paths of the rock cycle result from only a few surface and subsurface processes. What words belong in the empty boxes in the graphic organizer?
