Study Notes
Earth Science Key Concepts
- Oceanic and continental crust consists of a thickness range from 5-70 km.
- The geosphere encompasses the solid parts of the Earth including its crust and the layer beneath it.
Mohorovičić Discontinuity
- Discovered by Andrija Mohorovičić in 1909.
- Marks the boundary between the Earth's crust and the underlying mantle, known as the Moho Discontinuity.
Lehmann Discontinuity
- Identified after a large earthquake in New Zealand.
- Discovered in 1929, it defines the boundary between the Earth's outer core and inner core.
Earth's Blanket
- The atmosphere acts as the protective blanket around the Earth.
- Comprised of different layers including the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere.
Separation of Layers
- The term for areas that keep two things separated could refer to the tropopause, where the troposphere transitions into the stratosphere.
Region Above the Stratosphere
- The region extending above the stratosphere up to 85 km is called the mesosphere.
Ozone Layer Location
- The ozone layer is found within the stratosphere, providing vital protection against harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
Buffer Zone Above Mesosphere
- The mesopause is a buffer zone above the mesosphere, acting as the dividing line before entering the thermosphere.
General Atmospheric Structure
- Earth's atmosphere is layered, with each layer having distinct characteristics affecting weather, climate, and life.
