Level 1 – Earth’s Surface – The Lithosphere Level 2 – Earth’s Mantle - The Asthenosphere Level 3 – The Outer Core Level 4 – The Inner Core How do we KNOW these levels exist? Explore the Depths - Test Your Knowledge
The Lithosphere
The Lithosphere is the upper surface of the
earth composed of the SOLID upper mantle
which is made up of the earth’s crust including
bothOceanic Crust
andContinental Crust.Press to continue
The Lithosphere
The various Continental Plates
link together to make up the Lithosphere.

The Earth’s Mantle
The earth’s mantle actually exists in two distinct
layers. The upper Mantle is composed of rock with the consistency of plastic(like silly putty) called
The AsthenosphereThe Asthenosphere
The lower layer of the Mantle is rigid and solid.
Press to continue
The Earth’s Mantle
The AsthenosphereThe AsthenosphereThe continental plates drift over the soft asthenosphere as the heat of the earth’s core rises creating currents that Result inContinental Drift.

The Outer Core
The Outer Core of the Earth consists
of liquid rock composed of Iron with 12% sulphur silicon, oxygen,
nickel and potassium
Press to continue
The Inner Core
The Inner Core of the Earth consists of
SOLID rock composed of Iron
with 10-20% nickel.
Some physicists believe that the movement of
electrical charges between the inner and outer core produce the earth’s magnetic field. Press to continue
How do we KNOW these levels exist?Seismologists study Earthquakes. Earthquakes produce shock waves
that travel through the earth and can be measured on the other side of the
earth.
P waves (primary waves) go through solid and liquid.
The vibrate differently passing through solids than when they pass in
liquid.S waves (secondary waves)
only go through solids.
