Earth Quake Engineering
The Earth is made up of 3 main layers:•Core
•
•Mantle
•
•Crust
Crust:•Earth's crust
is made up of several elements: oxygen, 46.6 percent by weight; silicon, 27.7
percent; aluminum, 8.1 percent; iron, 5 percent; calcium, 3.6 percent; sodium,
2.8 percent, potassium, 2.6 percent, and magnesium, 2.1 percent.••Plate tectonics
is the theory explaining the motion of these plates.
•Mantle•The
mantle under the crust is about 1,800 miles deep (2,890 km). It is composed
mostly of silicate rocks rich in magnesium and iron. Intense heat causes the
rocks to rise. They then cool and sink back down to the core. This convection —
with the consistency of caramel — is thought to be what causes the tectonic
plates to move. When the mantle pushes through the crust, volcanoes erupt.•Core•At the
center of the Earth is the core, which has two parts. The solid, inner core of
iron has a radius of about 760 miles (about 1,220 km), according to NASA. It is
surrounded by a liquid, outer core composed of a nickel-iron alloy. The outer
core is about 1,355 miles (2,180 km) thick. The inner core spins at a different
speed than the rest of the planet. This is thought to cause Earth's magnetic
