2.1Wheredoearthquakesandvolcanoesoccur?

The Earth’s structure

Ever since the Earth’s formation (an estimated 4600000000 – four

thousand six hundred million years ago) it has been slowly cooling

down. This has led to the formation of a

crust

, a thin solid layer

of rock that forms the surface of our planet (see

Figure 2.1). Below the crust is the

mantle

, which is

made of semi-solid rock and has properties of both a

liquid and a solid, and can therefore break and flow.

At the very centre of the Earth is a

core

, which is

believed to be a solid surrounded by liquid metals

that reach temperatures of over 5000°C!

Oceanicandcontinental tectonicplates

The Earth’s crust is not one seamless layer, but is

broken up into many different sections of varying

sizes called

tectonic plates

. These huge sections

of the Earth’s surface rest upon the deep semi-

solid layer of the mantle beneath them. The edges

where the plates meet are called

plate boundaries

Nearly all

earthquakes

and

volcanoes

occur at

these boundaries.

2.1Wheredoearthquakes and volcanoesoccur?

Figure 2.2 shows a simplifiedmap of how the Earth’s crust is split

into tectonic plates. (Themap also shows the earthquake and volcano

examples covered in this chapter.)

Active volcanoes

are volcanoes that have erupted in the last

2000 years and are likely to erupt again.

Dormant volcanoes

are

volcanoes that have erupted in the last 2000 years but not in the

last 200 years. An

extinct volcano

is a volcano that has not erupted

in the last 2000 years and will not erupt again.

There are two types of tectonic plates:

●

Oceanic plates

that line our ocean floors are thinner, newer and

made of more dense rock than continental plates.

●

Continental plates

that make up the continental landmasses we

live on are thicker, older and made of less dense rock than oceanic

plates.

These tectonic plates move as heat rises and

falls inside the mantle, creating

convection

currents

(see Figure 2.3).

Try to identify the oceanic and continental

plates in Figure 2.2.
