What to Focus On

  • Direct observation is possible only for a very small depth.
  • Robinson Deep is about 4 km deep.
  • The deepest oil drilling hole is about 6 km deep.

  • Sources of information are of two types: direct and indirect.
  • Indirect sources are density, temperature, pressure, and earthquake waves.
  • Seismic waves are the most important indirect evidence.

  • Average density of the Earth is 5.5.
  • Sedimentary rocks: 2.7.
  • Igneous rocks: 3.0 to 3.5.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Earth’s interior is known mainly through direct digging and drilling.

The crust is the thickest layer of the Earth because it is the outer shell.

The mantle is liquid throughout because it lies below the crust.

Memory Tips

Three main layers of the earth: crust, mantle, core

Wave speed order: P, S, L

P-waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases

S-waves travel only through solids and disappear in liquids
