1.2.1 The Earth

Course subject(s) 1. The Rocks, the Earth and Plate Tectonics

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.
