    The Earth is composed of three main layers - the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the outermost solid layer, made up of different types of rocks. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which is also solid but capable of flowing. The core is at the center and is made of liquid metal. Earthquakes occur along fault lines in the crust due to the build up and sudden release of pressure between tectonic plates. When pressure is released, seismic waves transmit energy from the focus, where the earthquake starts deep in the crust.

    Layers of the Earth

    • CRUST - Earth's hard outer layer. It is less than 1% of Earth's volume.


    The crust is made up of different types of rocks: igneous, metamorphic,
    and sedimentary rocks.
    • MANTLE – is beneath the
    Crust. Solid but capable of
    flow. The hot material
    (magma) in the mantle rises to
    the top of the mantle, cools,
    then sinks, reheats, and rises again.
    • CORE – The hottest molten liquid
    metal(iron
    and nickel).
    Earthquakes
    Learning objective: To be able to
    explain how an earthquake happens.

    Do now: In full sentences describe


    what you think an earthquake is.
    Fast finishers: write down any
    earthquakes that you know about and
    any information that you can
    remember about them.
    Earthquake definition.
    • A sudden violent shaking of the ground,
    typically causing great destruction, as a result
    of movements within the earth's crust or
    volcanic action.

    Video Questions
    • What is a fault?

    • What is the focus?

    • Where do earthquakes
    happen?
    Answers
    • What is a fault?
    A fault is where two tectonic plates
    meet.

    • What is the focus?


    The point inside the crust where the
    earthquake started.

    • Where do earthquakes happen?


    At conservative and destructive
    plate boundaries.
    Why do earthquakes happen?
    3. The two plates at a plate margin
    cannot move past each other easily.

    1.The two plates


    lock together.
    Friction causes
    pressure to build up.

    4. Suddenly the pressure


    is released and the plates
    jolt into a new position. 2. This causes seismic waves.
    The vibrations they cause
