The Earth and Its Lithosphere
The Earth's structure is divided into four major components: the crust, the mantle, the
outer core, and the inner core. Each layer has a unique chemical composition, physical state,
and can impact life on Earth's surface. Geologists have distinguished these three main
intemal subdivisions of the Earth, based on the behavior of seismic waves and laboratory
‘experiments

Subdivisions of the Earth
1. Crust is the thinnest and the outermost layer of the Earth. It is subdivided into two
regions: the continental crust and the oceanic crust. It is mainly made up of silicon, oxygen,
aluminum, calcium, sodium, potassium, hydrogen, titanium, magnesium, and iron.
2. Mantle is the layer beneath the crust which comprises the largest portion of the Earth. It
is mostly made of the elements silicon, oxygen, iron, and magnesium. The lower part of the
mantle consists of more iron than the upper part. The temperature and the pressure increase
with depth. The high temperature and pressure in mantle allow the solid rock to flow slowly.
3. Core is the innermost portion of the Earth. It is composed of metallic elements, primarily
iron and nickel.Parts of the Earth's Core:
4. Outer core is made of liquid metal because of very high temperature which
tends to melt iron and nickel.
2. Inner core is made up of solid iron and nickel. Due to extreme temperature,
it could have been molten iron and nickel but itis believed to have solidified as a
result of pressure freezing.
The Continental and Oceanic Crust
The earth's crustis generally divided into older, thicker continental crust and younger,
denser oceanic crust
Continental crust underlies much of the earth's land surfaces. Itis mainly
made up of silicon, oxygen, aluminum, calcium, sodium, potassium and is made
of less dense rock like granite. The thickness of the continental crust is
mostly 35-40 kilometers.
Oceanic crust is found under the ocean floor and is made of dense rocks like basalt. It is
about 7-10 kilometers thick with an average thickness of 8 kilometers. The oceanic crust
is heavier than the continental crust.

The Lithospheric Plates
Lithosphere is the outer shell of the earth, composed of the crust and the uppermost
mantle, fractured into plates.
Asthenosphere is a partially molten part of the mantle where the lithospheric plates
float and move around. Its temperature is about 300-800°C enough to facilitate a
small amount of melting and to make it capable to flow which cause the movement
of the lithospheric plates. The lithosphere, with the continents on top of it, is being
4carried by flowing asthenosphere.

ah-eross.section
Lithospheric plates, also known as tectonic plates, are massive, irregularly shaped
slabs of solid rock, generally composed of continental and oceanic lithosphere
that fit together to form the surface of the earth. These lithospheric plates move
relative to each other.
(tts: quo convitow-many plates ar-in-eat
Continental Lithosphere is formed by continental crust and residual mantle.
It constitutes the continents. It has an average thickness of about 150 km.
‘Some continental lithospheres are the South and North American plate,
Eurasian plate and African plateOceanic Lithosphere is formed by oceanic crust and residual mantle. It constitutes
the bottom of the oceans. The great mountain ranges have an average thickness of
150 km in the bottom of the ocean. An example of an oceanic plate is the Pacific Plate,
which extends from the East Pacific Rise to the deep-sea trenches bordering the westem
part of the Pacific basin
The Major and Minor Lithospheric Plates
Most of the earth's surface is covered by major and minor plates. The seven major
plates include the African, Antarctic, Eurasian, North American, South American, India-
Australian, and the Pacific plates. Some of the minor plates include the Arabian, Caribbean,
Nazea, and Scotia plates.
The basis of scientists in dividing the Earth’s lithosphere into several segments called
plates are the distribution of earthquake epicenters, location of volcanoes and formation
of mountain ranges. Alll these geologic features are formed because of plate movement.

) What's In
Earthquake
The Philippine archipelago had experienced numerous earthquakes last 2019 and
early 2020, ranging from magnitude 1 to magnitude 7.7. Most of these earthquakes were
due to the energies carried by the seismic waves released from the interior of the earth
causing the lithospheric plates to move. Earthquakes with magnitude of 5 or above may
cause visible damages in light to strong constructions such as houses and buildings,
agricultural areas, bridges, and even along roads and highways
Earthquake is the sudden movement of the Earth’s surface that lasts in a very
short time ranging from few seconds to minutes. The energy carried by the seismic waves
causes this movement of the earth's surface. Now, what are seismic waves?
SEISMIC WAVES are traveling disturbances that carry energies caused by the sudden
breaking of rocks in the interior of the earth.
TYPES OF SEISMIC WAVES
|. BODY WAVES - are waves that can travel in all directions in the inner layers of the
earth. These waves have higher frequency and arrive before the surface wave on the
outermost layer of the Earth
There are two sub-types of body waves: P — waves and S — waves. The pictures below
show how these waves carry energy from the interior of the earth,
A. P-Waves (Primary Waves) — are longitudinal seismic body waves with a great
velocity through the ground. They move alternately by pushing and pulling. The
direction of the particles is parallel to the direction of the wave motion. They can
travel both in solid and fluid materials such as volcanic magma, with a range of
1600 m/s to 8000 m/s depending on the material they are moving through. P —
Waves are first felt and detected by a seismograph/

B. S — Waves (Shear waves, Shaking waves or Secondary Waves) ~ are transverse
waves, moving side to side from the source to the outer layer of the Earth. The
direction of the particles is perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion. They
travel about 40% slower than the P - waves ranging from 900 m/s to 4500 mls. S —
waves can travel only in solid materials. Due to its slow motion, they can cause
greater damage than P— waves

direction
ll, SURFACE WAVES — are waves that can travel only on the surface of the Earth. They
have lower frequency than body waves that can be easily distinguished on a seismogram.
They are detected after the body waves. They are almost responsible for the damage and
destruction associated to the earthquake.
There are two sub-types of surface waves: Love waves and Rayleigh waves. The
pictures below show how these waves move along the surface of the Earth
A. Love Waves - like S — waves, they are transverse waves but no vertical motion. They
are like a wriggling snake causing the ground to twist side by side resulting to great
damages and destructions to people and in the environment.

Locating the earthquake epicenter
In locating the epicenter of the earthquake, knowledge on seismic waves is
important. Epicenter is the point directly above the hypocenter or focus (located in the
inner layers of the Earth), where the earthquake originates. Earthquake epicenter can be
determined using Triangulation Method. This method requires data/ information from
three seismic recording stations.
STEPS IN LOCATING EARTHQUAKE EPICENTER
1. Obtain data from three different seismic recording stations. Find the difference in
arrival time between the P — and S — waves.
To do this, refer to each of the three seismogram readings and record arrival times of
P— wave and S — wave.

2. Record difference in Arrival Time. Subtract arrival time of P — wave from the arrival
time of S - wave. Plot the time interval on the travel-time graph. Follow the steps
below in plotting the time interval and determining the distance.

3. Record the distance of the seismic recording station to the earthquake epicenter. Do
the same for the other two seismic recording stations. (Let us assume values for the
second and third seismogram)

12Using the data in the table and the travel-time graph, we may determine the distance
of the of the seismic recording station to the earthquake epicenter as follows:
Seismic | P—wave | S-wave Time | Distance from
Recording | Arrival Time | Arrival Time | Interval the Epicenter

1 23 minutes | 27 minutes | 4 minutes | 2500 km
2 22.5 27 minutes 45 3000 km
minutes minutes
3 22.5 28 minutes 55 4000 km
minutes minutes
Finding the distance of the epicenter to the seismic recording station may also use the
mathematical method. The formula:
a= 2 x100km
4. Use Triangulation Method to locate the earthquake epicenter. Draw a circle on a map
thathas a radius equal to the distance to the epicenter from each seismograph station.
Scale: 1000 Km = 1 cm. The point where the three circles meet is the epicenter of the
earthquake
Seismic waves spread out from the focus of an earthquake to the surface of the
earth. Structures farther from the epicenter experience less shaking and less damage.
Structures near the epicenter experience more shaking and more damage compared to
the location of the epicenter of the earthquake. More shaking and great damage may also
be experienced in places near faults and liquefy surfaces. Earthquakes cause damage to
infrastructures such as buildings, houses, bridges and roads. They can also trigger
landslides and mudslides. When the earthquake occurs under the ocean, it creates a
series of huge waves that cause massive destructions if they hit a populated coastal area
These huge waves are also known as tsunami.

Describe and relate the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters,
and major mountain belts to Plate Tectonic Theory (S10ES — la4j-36.1)
The earth's surface is covered with multifarious bodies of water and landforms.
The earth, indeed, is aesthetically landscaped, and such features are of great use to
mankind, The structures, like mountains and volcanoes, are some of the landforms
that attractively capture our eyes. Mountains help abate typhoons while volcanoes may
seem quiet and still, but, once they exhibit an intense energy, their peaceful state
becomes wild. Volcanic eruption is one of nature's deadliest and most destructive
phenomena in the world, The effect of volcanic eruptions to humans and environment
depends on the intensity and proximity. How close are we to these volcanoes? Where
are they located? How are these active volcanoes distributed around the world? These
are some of the questions that will be answered as we discuss Module 3
The Ring of Fire is a major area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where a
large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. It is sometimes called the
Circum-Pacific Belt. Volcanoes are formed when lithospheric plates are pushed
together. Some of the Earth’s plates move deeper into the earth's mantle where they
melt and rise to the surface again to form volcanoes.

Major mountain belts are randomly distributed in the earth’s crust. Most of the
mountain ranges are located along the boundaries. The picture below shows the
location of major mountain belts or ranges. Some of the known mountain ranges are
as follows: Himalayas, Andes Mountain, Rocky Mountain, Alps, and Caucasus
Mountains.

The Himalayas is a massive mountain range stretching throughout Asia and
the Middle East. The highest point is the famous Mount Everest at over 29, 000 feet
above sea level. The Andes Mountain range runs through much of South America.
Its highest point is Aconcagua in Argentina, which is the highest point outside Asia
The Rocky Mountain range is one of the longest on earth. It stretches through North
19America, from Canada and through the US to New Mexico. The Alps is a 750-mile
long mountain range that runs through 8 European countries. Its highest peak is Mont
Blanc, which reaches over 15,000 feet in height on the French- Italian border. The
Caucasus Mountain stretches between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. It runs
through Russia (where its highest peak, the over 18,000-foot Mount Elbrus stands),
Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Scientists were able to conclude that the bases for dividing the Earth's,
lithosphere are the locations of active volcanoes, earthquake epicentres, and major
mountain belts or ranges

Q) whee!
wy What’s In
Types of Plate Boundaries
Plate boundaries are edges where two plates meet. Most geologic events,
including volcanoes, earthquakes, and formation of mountains, take place at plate
boundaries.
The movement of the plates creates the types of tectonic boundaries. There are
three types of plate boundaries, differentiated by the movement they exhibit:
* Divergent - where plates move apart
Convergent - where plates move towards each other
Transform - where plates slide or grind past each other

24Stress of Rocks
The Earth has three layers, the crust, the mantle and the core. The Earth's crust
is like the shell of an egg; it is the thinnest of the Earth's layers. The crust is broken
into several parts, known as tectonic plates. When the plates are pulled or pushed
together, stress occurs. Three types of stresses affect the earth's crust: compression,
tension, and shear. All forms of stress cause earthquake and form different geologic
features.
Compression Stress
Compression is @ type of stress that causes the rocks to push or squeeze
against one another. It targets the center of the rock and can cause either horizontal
or vertical orientation. In horizontal compression stress, the crust can thicken or
shorten. In vertical compression stress, the crust can thin out or break off. The force of
compression can push rocks together or cause the edges of each plate colliding to
rise. Mountains are a result of high-impact compression stress caused when two plates
collide.
Tension Stress
Tension is the opposite of compression. While compression forces the rocks
and crust to collide and move together, tension forces the rocks to pull apart. Tension
can happen in two ways. Two separate plates can move farther away from each other,
or the ends of one plate can move in different directions. Some scientists think tension
stress caused the ancient, massive continent Pangaea to break off into the seven
continents we have today.
Shear Stress
When shear stress occurs, the force of the stress pushes some of the crust in different
directions. When this happens, a large part of the crust can break off, which makes the
plate size smaller. Shear stress usually happens when two plates rub against each
other as they move in opposite directions. The friction of a shear stress at the edges
of the plate can cause earthquakes.
