The student is expected to gain these from learning the topic or the lesson:

Remember: Identify the different layers of Earth.

OBJECTIVES
Understand: Explain how different layers of Earth affect the Earth’s magnetism.
Apply: Appreciate how different layers of the Earth helps in sustaining the life on Earth.

CONTEXT This module provides understanding about the Earth’s different layers.

TARGET CHARACTER/VALUES FOCUS Communication, ICT Literacy, Critical Thinking, Career and Self-Reliance
(PMVGO)
Earth is composed of several layers, each with distinct properties and characteristics. These layers, from the outermost
OVERVIEW OF THE LESSON
to the innermost, are the atmosphere, lithosphere, asthenosphere, mantle, outer core, and inner core.

STUDENT’S EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

Chunk 1 Earth’s Layer (Day 1 and Day 2)

Lesson proper
Earth is composed of several layers that vary in composition, temperature, and physical state. These layers, from the outermost to the innermost, are the lithosphere,
asthenosphere, mantle, outer core, and inner core.

Crust
• The crust is made of relatively light elements, especially silica, aluminum and oxygen.
• Under the oceans (and Hawaiian Islands), it may be as little as 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) thick.
• Beneath the continents, the crust may be 30 to 70 kilometers (18.6 to 43.5 miles) thick.

Mantle
• At close to 3,000 kilometers (1,865 miles) thick.
 • Earth’s thickest layer.
• Made mostly of iron, magnesium and silicon, it is dense, hot and semi-solid (think caramel candy).
• The mantle’s outermost zone is relatively cool and rigid. It behaves more like the crust above it. Together, this uppermost part of the mantle layer and the crust are
known as the lithosphere.

Outer Core
• This part of the core is also made from iron and nickel, just in liquid form.
• It sits some 5,180 to 2,880 kilometers (3,220 to 1,790 miles) below the surface.
• Heated largely by the radioactive decay of the elements uranium and thorium, this liquid churns in huge, turbulent currents.
• That motion generates electrical currents. They, in turn, generate Earth’s magnetic field.

Inner Core
• This solid metal ball has a radius of 1,220 kilometers (758 miles), or about three-quarters that of the moon.
• It’s located some 6,400 to 5,180 kilometers (4,000 to 3,220 miles) beneath Earth’s surface.
• It’s also intensely hot: Temperatures sizzle at 5,400° Celsius (9,800° Fahrenheit.
• It would likely consist almost entirely of iron.

Asthenosphere
Asthenosphere is a layer of partially melted rock. Geologists believe this weak, hot, slippery part of the mantle is what Earth’s tectonic plates ride upon and slide across.

Formative Question:
1. What are the different layers of the earth?
2. How can you differentiate the inner and outer core?
