What to Focus On

  • Temperature increases downward at 1°C for every 32 metres.
  • At 48 km depth, temperature is about 1200°C to 2000°C.
  • At about 400 km depth, temperature is about 1500°C.

  • Crust is the outermost layer of the Earth.
  • Lithosphere means rock.
  • The crust has two main layers: Sial and Sima.

  • Sial is the upper/continental layer of the crust.
  • Sial contains silica and aluminium.
  • Sial is called the granite layer.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Earth's crust, mantle, and core are arranged in equal layers.

Mohorovicic Discontinuity separates the mantle and core.

Sial and Sima are two separate planets or unrelated rocks, not parts of the crust.

Memory Tips

Three main parts of the Earth

Layers of the crust

Composition of Sial and Sima

Sial is discontinuous and Sima is continuous
