Plate tectonics Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Outline the structure of the core. - Answer The core is made up of dense rocks containing iron and nickel alloys. It is divided into the solid inner core and the molten outer core, which has a temperature of over 5000C. This heat is produced due to two processes: primordial heat left over from the Earth's formation and radiogenic heat produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes. Outline the structure of the mantle. - Answer The mantle is made up of molten and semi-molten rocks contai...

GEL1503 SUMMARY STUDY NOTES GEL1503 - Environmental Geology The planet Earth, which we study in Geology today, came into existence in some manner together with other planets and stars and has developed into its current composition and structure. However, the limitations of science have thus far only allowed us to form hypotheses (conjectures) about the originating processes of the universe. • After reading chapter 1 in UE-6, which is about the origin of our system of planets, you shou...
