What’s In

Activity 1.1 Layers of the Earth Crossword Puzzle

In your previous science classes, you have studied the layers of the earth.
You learned that temperature and pressure go up as we go down to the center of
the earth. The crossword puzzle below contains important terms about the layers
of the earth.

Across:
1. a layer within the mantle composed of
hot, weak material that is capable of gradual
flow
3. ______ core, molten layer of the earth
4. the envelope of gases surrounding the
earth
7. layer of rock beneath the crust

Down:
2. rigid and relatively cool outer layer of the
earth, composed of both crust and a portion
of the upper mantle
5. ______ core, solid and dense layer at the
center of the earth
6. thin, relatively light outer skin of the
earth

What’s New

In the previous lessons, you learned that Earth is unique because of its
characteristics, one of which is plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is important in
maintaining Earth’s surface temperature. It is also responsible for the formation of
landforms like mountains and volcanoes and the birth of new bodies of water where
organisms live. Plate tectonics is one characteristic of Earth that allows it harbor
life.

Have you ever wondered what causes plate tectonics? Scientists believe that
it is the internal heat of the earth that fuels the movement of lithospheric plates.

What Is It

When we say, "internal heat", this refers to heat emitted from Earth's
layers. There is evidence that suggests that Earth's internal heat comes from two
sources: one is the heat from when Earth started to form, and the other is from
radioactive decay. The diagram below summarizes the sources of Earth’s internal
heat.

 "Primordial Heat" is the term used to refer to the heat accumulated by
Earth when it was formed. According to one theory called "Planetesimals Theory”,
terrestrial planets like Earth formed because of collision and accumulation of
objects of dust origin called planetesimals. When they collided and accumulated,
they produced heat.

Figure 1.3. Primordial Heat

www.frontlearners.com

Earth, according to the theory, started as a homogenous whole. The energy

that it acquired while it grew is called accretional energy. Later, materials in
Earth moved and separated from each other. The denser materials settled in the
center and the lighter materials rose to the surface of Earth. This process called
differentiation, formed Earth’s layers: core, mantle, and crust. Movement of
materials produced friction, which later was converted to heat.

The second source of Earth's internal heat is radioactive decay. Inside

Earth are some unstable atoms. Because they are unstable, they do not live very
long in that form. They tend to naturally turn themselves into more stable atoms.
In the process of doing so, they release high energy particles and waves. This
process is called radioactive decay. Current researches show that almost 50% of
Earth's internal heat comes from radioactive decay. The elements identified to have
the most abundant unstable isotopes are Uranium, Thorium and Potassium.
Uranium is also used in nuclear power plants to produce electricity.

 Volcanic activities have both benefits and hazards. Volcanic activities create
fertile soil for agriculture. On the other hand, volcanic eruptions emit poisonous
gases and lahars. Scientists study volcanoes to understand them better in the hope
of minimizing hazards and maximizing benefits. Inside a volcano is magma. What is
magma? Read on and find out.

What Is It

Magma refers to hot, molten material found below the earth's surface. When
magma flows onto Earth’s surface, it is called lava. Most of what we know about
magma comes from studying lava and igneous rocks.

 We also know that magma can be found in the lower portion of the Earth's
crust and the upper part of the mantle. Because of its unique characteristics,
scientists are studying magma closely to be able to find more clues about the
structure of the mantle. In 2009, researches from Iceland, also found proof that
magma can be utilized as a source of geothermal energy to produce electricity.
How does magma form? There are three different ways by which magma
forms depending on temperature, pressure, and the properties of Earth’s crust and
mantle. We discuss them one by one here.

Examine the picture below. What type of plate boundary is shown in the
picture? If your answer is divergent boundary, you are correct. When plates move
away from each other just like what is shown here, there is an opening formed. The
rocks of Earth's mantle move upward through this opening. The hot mantle rocks
move to an area of less pressure and areas with less pressure have lower melting
temperature. Because of this, rocks melt. We call this process of magma formation
due to decrease in pressure, "decompression melting".

Figure 2.5. Decompression Melting

Source: Decompression Melting. Digital image. FrontLearners. Accessed August 7, 2020.
www.frontlearners.com

Quick Review 1: Choose the correct word: Decompression melting happens

when hot mantle rocks rise to an area of 1. __________ (increased, decreased)
pressure. This normally occurs in 2. _____________ (convergent, divergent) plate
boundaries like mid-ocean ridges.

Magma also forms along hotspots. A hotspot is a particularly hot part of the
mantle. When hot liquid rocks from the hotspot rise to Earth's surface, they cool
and solidify. When they solidify, heat is transferred to the crust layer, causing the
neighboring rocks to melt. This process of magma formation is called "heat
transfer".
The illustration below demonstrates how heat transfer happens.

 The addition of substances that easily evaporate at normal temperature
(called volatile substances) like water and carbon dioxide would disrupt the bond
between the minerals of the mantle rock. As a result, the mantle rocks melt at
lower temperature and form magma. This type of magma formation by the addition
of water and carbon dioxide is called flux melting. It usually happens at
subduction zones.

Rocks undergo similar process like cooking food. Rocks beneath the Earth's
surface undergo changes because of the different conditions there. As a result,
stronger, more dense rocks are formed.

What Is It
Metamorphism comes from two Greek words: "meta" meaning change and
"morphe" meaning form. When rocks are exposed to different temperature,
pressure, and chemical conditions, they undergo changes in texture and mineral
composition. New minerals that can withstand these different conditions are
formed.

The new rocks are called metamophic rocks. Metamorphic rocks are denser
and stronger rocks than the original parent rocks. Because of these properties, they
are widely used as buidling materials. Some are also used as gemstones. Aside
from economic values, scientists also study metamorphic rocks because of the
insights they get about the changes that take place deep within Earth.

What are the changes that metamorphic rocks undergo? As rocks are
exposed to increasing temperature or pressure, they experience more and more
intense metamorphism. We call this intensity of metamorphism, metamorphic
grade. As metamorphic grade increases, rocks undergo the following changes:
increase in the size of crystals, foliation or alignment of minerals, and formation of

City of Good Character 22

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE
band of light and dark colored minerals. Other changes that happen to these rocks
are changes in mineral composition and recrystallization of minerals into smaller,
tightly intergrown grains. See the figure below:

Increase in size of crystals. This normally happens where there is

temperature difference in shallow depths. At shallow depths, pressure is relatively
low. This kind of metamorphism is called contact metamorphism. The picture
below shows hot magma coming in contact with developed rocks causing them to
transform.

The metamorphic rocks formed would normally have the same mineral
composition as the parent rock. However, the crystals would grow bigger. Quartzite
and marble are examples of rocks that undergo this kind of metamorphism.
Contact metamosphism is also called high temperature, low pressure
metamorphism.

Foliation or alignment of minerals. Foliation refers to minerals aligning

themselves due to pressure exerted on them. Foliation can either appear in visible
band or microscopically. See the illustration below. If we have pens that are
unaligned and we apply pressure (represented by the arrows) from the top and the
bottom, we will notice that the pencils will move and align themselves.

Foliation commonly occurs in settings with high pressure but relatively low
temperature. An example of this setting is along convergent plate boundaries. See
image below.

Like what we have metioned before, plates moving toward each other create
high pressure between them. This type of metamorphism is called regional
metamorphism, also called high pressure, low temperature metamorphism.
Slates and schists are examples of rocks formed this way. Slate is commonly used
in roofing and flooring.

Formation of alternating bands of light and dark colored minerals. See

the picture below. It shows rocks buried in layers in sedimentary basins. The layers
of sediment would have an increased pressure due to its weight, and an increase in
temperature as it sinks into the deeper layer of the earth. As a result, rocks
undergo what is called burial metamorphism, also called high temperature, high
pressure metamorphism.

Gneiss has many uses as a building material such as flooring, gravestones,

and ornamental stones.

Change in mineral composition. When hot water rises from the Earth's
core, it dissolves and accumulates minerals as it moves towards the surface. Once
it reaches the surface, it reacts with another rock and transforms that rock and the
accumulated minerals. This type of metamorphism is called Hydrothermal
Metamorphism. Hydrothermal comes from “hydro” which means water and
“thermal” which refers to heat. The figure below demonstrates how this happens.

This type of metamorphism results in rocks like Serpentinite. Serpentinite is

formed when olivine and pyroxene minerals are transformed into serpentine
minerals with the action of hot water. Serpentinite has uses in construction,
ceramics, and agriculture.

Recrystallization of minerals into smaller, tightly intergrown grains.

This normally happens along Earth's fault lines. See the figure below:

Figure 3.15. Fault Line

Source: Fault Line. Digital image. FrontLearners. Accessed August 7, 2020. www.frontlearners.com

In this setting, rocks are scraped together and pulverized due to high
pressure and low temperature. Because of this, original minerals are almost
completely broken down. They recrystallize as smaller, tightly intergrown grains.

The result is a denser metamorphic rock. This type of metamorphism is called
Dynamic or Cataclistic Metamorphism. Example of rocks formed by this process is
mylonites. Mylonites are used as aggregate in construction and roading industries
as well as in medical industry.

following: hot liquid base called melt, minerals, solid rocks, and dissolved gases.
2. There are three different ways by which magma forms. Decompression melting happens when
hot mantle rocks rise to an area of decreased pressure. This normally occurs in divergent plate
boundaries like mid-ocean ridges. Heat transfer usually occurs along hotspots. Heat is
transferred to cooler rocks causing them to melt. Flux melting usually happens in subduction
zones. The addition of water and carbon dioxide to mantle rocks decrease the temperature at
which they melt, forming magma
