Describe the interior of the earth
1.
Differences between crust and core are
| Crust | Core |
|---|---|
| It is the uppermost layer of the Earth's surface. | It is the innermost layer of the Earth's surface. |
| The main mineral constituents are silica and alumina i.e. SiAl. | The main mineral constituents are nickel and ferrous i.e. NiFe. |
2.
The differences between igneous and metamorphic rocks are as follow
| Igneous rocks | Metamorphic rocks |
|---|---|
| They are formed, when the molten magma cools and becomes solid. | They are formed due to great heat and pressure over igneous and sedimentary rocks. |
| For example, basalt, granite. | For example, clay changes into slate and limestone into marble. |
3.
Rocks are very useful to us. The hard rocks are used for making roads, houses and buildings.

16.
The earth is made up of several concentric layers with one inside another just like an onion. The basic features of the interior of the earth are
(i) Crust It is the uppermost layer over the earth's surface which is the thinnest of all the layers. It is about 35 km on the continental masses and only 5 km on the ocean floors. The continental mass are made up of silica and alumina. It is thus called SiAl (Si-Silica and AI-Alumina). The oceanic crust mainly consists of Silica and Magnesium; it is therefore called SiMa (Si-Silica and Ma-Magnesium.
(ii) Mantle It is just beneath the crust which extends up to a depth of 2900 km below the crust.
(iii) Core The innermost layer is the core with a radius of about 3500 km. It is mainly made up of Nickel and Iron and is called NiFe (Ni-Nickel and Fe-Ferrous i.e. iron). The central core has very high temperature and pressure.

The process of transformation of the rock from one to another is known as the rock cycle.
26.
( )

27.
( )
When rocks roll down, crack and hit each other and are broken down into small fragments. These smaller particles are called sediments.
28.
( )
The remains of the dead plants and animals trapped in the layers of rocks are called fossils.
29.
( )
The Earth's crust is made of different types of rocks.
30.
( )
The uppermost layer of the Earth is called crust.
31.
Iron, Brass, Gold, Copper, Zinc, Silver.
32.
Rocks are constantly being formed, worn down and then formed again. It takes thousands and millions of years for rocks to change. This process of transformation of the rock from one form to another is called rock cycles.

(i) When the molten magma cools down, it solidifies to become igneous rocks.
(ii) These igneous rocks are broken down into small particles, known as sediments.
(iii) These sediments are transported and deposited to form sedimentary rocks.
(iv) When these igneous and sedimentary rocks are subjected to heat and pressure, they change into metamorphic rocks.
(v) The metamorphic rocks which are still under heat and pressure, melt down to form molten magma, which again cools and solidifies into igneous rocks.
33.
The earth is made up of several concentric layers with one inside another.
There are three main layers are Crust, Mantle, and Core
(i) Crust: It is the uppermost layer over the earth's surface and thinnest among all layer The continental mass of the crust consisting of silica and alumina, thus it is called sial (si- silica and al-alumina). The oceanic crust consist of silica and magnesium, thus called sima (si-silica, ma-magnesium). It is about 35 km thick on the continental masses and only 5 km thick on the oceans floors.
(ii) Mantle: It is just beneath the crust, with a depth of 2,900kms.
(iii)Core: It is the innermost layer of the earth, mainly made up of nickel and ferrous. The central core has very high temperature and pressure.
