GEOL 1304 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Continental Crust, Oceanic Crust, Outer Core
Document Summary
The rigid outer part of the dry land , consisting of the crust and upper berth mantle. rigid cooler layer. Earth"s crust thin outermost layer of the earth that we interact with earthquakes the open vibrations feel when careen near the surface suddenly fault or break. These fractures generate seismic waves that travel throughout the major planet endogenic arrangement the system internal to earth, ride by radioactive hotness derived from sources within the satellite . In response, the surface fractures, mountain building occurs, and earthquakes and volcanoes are activated. Age of an objective in recounting to the ages of other objective . tectonic scale pieces of the earth"s earth"s crust and uppermost mantle (together make up the lithosphere) continental crust oceanic crust. Uniformitarianism assumes that the same cancel laws and operation that operate in the population now, have always operated in the world in the past and apply everywhere in the existence .
