Study Notes

Earth's Interior

  • Composed of several layers:
    • Crust: outermost solid layer, ranging in thickness from 5-70 km
    • Mantle: thick layer beneath the crust, divided into upper and lower mantle
    • Outer Core: liquid iron-nickel alloy, responsible for generating Earth's magnetic field
    • Inner Core: solid, iron-nickel alloy at the center of the Earth

Plate Tectonics

  • Theory that explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere (outermost solid layer)
  • Comprises 7 major plates and several smaller ones
  • Plates move relative to each other, resulting in:
    • Divergent motion: plates move apart, creating new crust
    • Convergent motion: plates collide, resulting in subduction or collision
    • Transform motion: plates slide past each other horizontally

Continental Drift

  • Theory that continents have moved over time and were once joined together
  • Evidence:
    • Fit of the continents: puzzle-like fit of the continents
    • Similarity of coastlines: identical rock formations and fossils on different continents
    • Paleomagnetism: magnetism in rocks indicates continents have moved over time

Lithosphere

  • Outermost solid layer of the Earth, comprising the crust and uppermost mantle
  • Broken into several large plates that move relative to each other
  • Thickness: varies from 50-200 km

GEMPA BUMI (EARTHQUAKES)

  • Result from the movement of tectonic plates
  • Occur when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust
  • Types:
    • Tectonic earthquakes: caused by plate movement
    • Volcanic earthquakes: caused by volcanic activity
    • Collapse earthquakes: caused by underground caverns or voids

GUNUNG BERAPI (VOLCANOES)

  • Landforms that occur when magma from the Earth's interior rises to the surface
  • Types:
    • Shield volcanoes: gently sloping, formed by lava flows
    • Composite volcanoes: steep-sided, formed by a combination of lava and ash
    • Cinder cones: small, formed by ash accumulation
  • Volcanic activity:
    • Eruption: release of magma and gases from the Earth's surface
    • Lava flow: molten rock that flows from a volcano
    • Pyroclastic flow: fast-moving, hot cloud of ash and gas
