    Unit 2: The Earth S Surface: Lithosphere and Hydrosphere

    Uploaded by

    MaríaMiranda
    This document discusses the structure and features of Earth's lithosphere and hydrosphere. It describes the internal structure of Earth, including the core, mantle, crust, lithosphere, and external spheres like the atmosphere and biosphere. The lithosphere is composed of tectonic plates that move over the mantle and create or destroy crust. Earth's surface includes continents, islands, and oceans. Landforms like mountains, plains, and coastal features shape the surface relief and are formed by internal forces like volcanism and earthquakes or external forces like erosion. Oceanic relief includes features like ridges, trenches, and abyssal plains. The hydrosphere includes ocean waters that move via tides and currents, as well as continental freshwater

    1. The Earth´s structure
    1.2. The lithosphere and tectonic
    plates.
    • The lithosphere is composed of tectonic plates
    that move over the mantle.
    1.2. The lithosphere and tectonic
    plates.
    The crust is formed or destroyed as a result of the separation or collision
    of the plates.

    Two plates are separating Two plates collide,


    1.3. The Earth´s surface: continents,
    islands and oceans.
    1.3. The Earth´s surface: continents,
    islands and oceans.
    • Continents and islands are areas of land
    surronded by oceans and seas.
    • Oceans are large areas of salt water that cover
    part of the Earth´s crust.

    forces
    3.1. How relief is formed.
    • The relief is a consequence of the following
    internal forces:

    Orogeny/orogenia

    Earthquakes/terremotos

    Volcanoes
    3.1. How relief is formed.
    • Orogeny:

    • Is the process through which mountains are


    formed.
    3.1. How relief is formed.
    • Earthquakes (Map Andalucia)

    • Caused by violent movements of the


    terrestial crust.
    3.1. How relief is formed.
    • Volcanoes.

    • Cracks in the crust that expel magma, ashes,


    rocks and toxic gases.
    3.2. How relief is transformed.
    • External forces shape the relief.
    • This transformation involves three types of
    action:
