RECALL Flashcards
What is the name of the type of rock formed by volcanic activity?
Igneous rocks
What is the solid and outer part of the earth, including the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust?
Lithosphere
What is under the Lithosphere mantle?
Asthenosphere
It is known as the part between the lower mantle and the upper mantle
Transition zone
It is located between the transition zone and the external nucleus
lower mantle
It is found in the last few hundred kilometers of the mantle. This layer constitutes a boundary between the rocky mantle and the outer core of liquid iron.
This layer could be considered as the cemetery of some parts of the lithosphere.
In spanish: Capa D’’
What is the limit between the mantle and the inner core?
Outer core
Why is so important the Outer core?
‘cause u can find so many materials there
Why is the outer core mainly constituted?
Iron and a little bit of nickel
Solid sphere made of iron and residual amounts of other materials
Inner core
It is thought to have originated from water vapors, hydrogen, ammonia, methane, and sulfuric anhydride due to chemical changes induced by the sun
Atmosphere
LAYER THAT JOINS THE OUTER SPACE WITH THE INNER LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE.
Exosphere
Capa que cubre la Tierra hasta 1000m (espesor)
composición de la atmósfera
¿En qué rango de la atmósfera se incendian los asteroides?
Entre los 200 y 300 km
CAPA DE TRANSICIÓN A UNA ZONA SIN GASES NI GRAVEDAD APARENTE. SE SITÚA A PARTIR DE LOS 590 KM Y HASTA LOS 10,000 KM DE ALTURA.
(DONDE ORBITAN SATÉLITES)
Exosphere
ESPECIE DE MANCHA NEBULOSA DE DISTINTAS TONALIDADES LUMINOSAS, PRODUCTO DE LA RADIACIÓN SOLAR.
Aurora boreal
COMIENZA A PARTIR DE LOS 85 KM Y HASTA LOS 690 KM. EN ESTA CAPA SE FORMAN LAS AURORAS BOREALES Y SE TIENEN TEMPERATURAS DE HASTA 1000 °C.
termosfera
CAPA QUE TIENE LOS GASES MEZCLADOS EN LUGAR DE ESTAR ESTRATIFICADOS POR SU MASA, EL AIRE ES DE GADO, POR LO CUAL NO SERÍA POSIBLE RESPIRAR. (SE DESINTEGRAN METEORITOS)
Mesosfera
