What to Focus On
- Direct observation of Earth's interior is limited to about 12 km depth due to high temperature and pressure.
- Artificial sources include density, pressure, temperature, and meteorite studies.
- Natural sources include vulcanicity and seismic waves from earthquakes.
- Crust is the thinnest layer, less than 1% of Earth's mass.
- Mohorovicic discontinuity separates crust and mantle.
- Mantle makes up 83% of Earth's volume and is the source of volcanic magma.
- Igneous rocks are primary rocks and form from solidified magma or lava.
- Extrusive igneous rocks cool quickly and are fine-grained; intrusive ones cool slowly and are coarse-grained.
- Sedimentary rocks are layered (stratified) and often contain fossils.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The Earth’s core is made of molten lava like in volcanoes.
Sedimentary rocks are always soft and weak.
Metamorphic rocks form only from sedimentary rocks.
Memory Tips
Three main layers of the Earth: Crust, Mantle, Core
Crust: SIAL (Silica + Aluminium) for continental crust, SIMA (Silica + Magnesium) for oceanic crust
Core is NIFE (Nickel + Ferrous/Iron)
Mantle is 83% of Earth's volume and 67% of its mass
