how earth surface layer formed |
| Answer» \xa0The inner core, the outer core, mantle and crust are the four layers of earthThe Inner CoreIt is the centre and the hottest layer of the Earth. The inner core is solid and made up of iron and nickel with temperature up to 5,500oC. Due to its immense\xa0<a href="https://byjus.com/physics/heat-energy/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">heat energy</a>, the inner core is more like the engine room of the Earth.The Outer CoreThe outer core of the Earth is similar to a very hot ball of metals, whose temperature is around 4000\xa0oF to 90000F. It is so hot that the metals inside are all in the liquid state. The outer core is located around 1800 miles under the crust and approximately 1400 miles thick. It is composed of metals such as iron and nickel. The outer core surrounds the inner core.The inner core has pressures and temperatures so high that the metals are squeezed together and not able to move like a liquid, but are forced to vibrate instead of solid.MantleMantle is the widest section of the Earth. Its thickness is approximately 2,900 km. The mantle is mainly made up of semi-molten rock known as magma. The rock is hard in the upper part of the mantle, but lower down the rock is softer and begins to melt.The mantle is located directly under the Sima. The mantle consists of very hot and dense rock. This layer of rock flows like asphalt under heavy weight. This flow is because of the greatest temperature differences from the bottom to the top of the mantle. The reason behind the plates of the Earth move is the movement of the mantle. Its temperature varies between 1600\xa0oF at the upper part to 4000\xa0oF near the bottom.CrustThe crust is the outer layer where we live. The thickness is around 0-60 km. It’s a solid rock layer divided into two types:\tContinental crust covers the land and,\tOceanic crust covers waterThe crust is the most widely studied and understood. Mantle is hotter and capable of flowing. The outer and inner core are much hotter with great pressures that you can be squeezed into a ball smaller than a marble if you are able to go in the center of the Earth. | |

Explain the hypothesis know as the sea floor spreading given by Hess |
| Answer» Sea-floor spreading\xa0— In the early 1960s, Princeton geologist Harry Hess proposed the hypothesis of sea-floor spreading, in which basaltic magma from the mantle rises to create new ocean floor at mid-ocean ridges. On each side of the ridge, sea floor moves from the ridge towards the\xa0deep-sea trenches, where it is subducted and recycled back into the mantle\xa0. A test of the hypothesis of sea-floor spreading was provided by studies of the Earth\'s magnetism. | |

Explain the movement in Indian plate? In point |
| Answer» The plate\xa0movements are classified into three types:(i) Some plates come towards each other and form convergent boundaries.(ii) Some plates move away from each other and form divergent boundary.(iii) At times, they may also move horizontally\xa0past\xa0each other and form transform boundary.When two plates come together, they are known as convergent\xa0plates. They are also known as\xa0constructive\xa0plates. When two plates\xa0move far away from each other, they are known as divergent plates.\xa0When two plates\xa0coming towards each other collide\xa0or burst pass, they are known as transform plate. The movement of plates causes\xa0volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, formation of mountains, etc. | |

Explain major plate and minor plate |
| Answer» The earth’s lithosphere is composed of seven or eight major plates and many minor plates. The lithosphere is a rigid outermost shell of earth and is broken up into tectonic plates. When these plates meet, their relative motion determines the type of boundary like convergent, divergent, or transform.Volcanic activity, earthquakes, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along these plate boundaries. The relative movement of the plates typically ranges from zero to 100 mm annually. | |

Describe the metamorphic rocks |
| Answer» Metamorphic rocks are formed when rock changes over a period of time due to a lot of physical changes like pressure, heat and different chemical activity. When\xa0sedimentary rocks\xa0or igneous rocks go through the physical process such as pressure exposure, heat changes, and tectonic plate movement at plate edges. This rock changes occur when these rocks are exposed to an environment.Characteristics of Metamorphic Rock\tCataclastic metamorphism occurs along with the tectonic plate faults where the rocks get rubbed with each other which results in the grain size reduction.\tTransformation of these rocks are classified as one which could not form non foliated rock and is of low grade.\tCirculation of rock results in huge number of mineral water chemical reactions which results in different kinds of precious metals and stones. | |
