We will now take you on a journey through the Earth, from its deep core to the its outermost part the crust.

At the end of this second part of module 1 you will be able to:

• describe the internal structure of the Earth with particular attention to the lithosphere.
• explain the geometric and physical characteristics of lithosphere and crust in various parts of the planet and
• predict lithospheric and crustal properties on the basis of simple geophysical data.

The first video gives you an overview of the overall structure of our planet, the Earth.
