INTERIOR
Introduction
In Module 1, you have learned about
the different processes and landforms
along plate boundaries that slowly
shaped the Earth’s surface.
In Module 2, you will learn the
connection between these processes
with the internal structure and
mechanisms of our planet.

Rayleigh Waves
Love Wave
named after A.E.H. Love, a British
mathematician who worked out the
mathematical model for this kind of wave in
1911.
faster than Rayleigh wave
it moves the ground in a side-to-side
horizontal motion, like that of a snake’s
causing the ground to twist
cause the most damage to structures during
an earthquake.
Love Wave
Rayleigh Wave
named after John William Strutt, Lord
Rayleigh, who mathematically predicted the
existence of this kind of wave in 1885
wave rolls along the ground just like a wave
rolls across a lake or an ocean
up and down or side-to-side similar to the
direction of the wave’s movement
shaking felt from an earthquake

15g cornstarch
2 small cups
Medicine dropper
Procedure:
Put 15 g cornstarch into one of the
beakers. Put 10 ml water into the other
beaker.
Add one drop full of water to the
it.
Answer the ff. questions
hardboiled egg/s
bread knife

Activity 1C: Hard Boiled Earth
PROCEDURE:
1. Prepare the materials. (hardboiled
egg, bread knife, used paper to work
on)
2. Place used paper or newspaper on
your working area. Cut the egg into
halves using a knife or a cutter.
Procedure:
Using qualitative observation, describe the
parts of the egg from the outermost to the
innermost by completing the table. Write your
answer on a piece of paper/ short bond paper.

Procedure:
4. Draw the appearance of the cut hard-boiled egg.
5. Answer the ff.
A. How many layers does a hard-boiled egg have?
B. Which is the largest part? The thinnest?
C. Compare the parts of the egg to the model of the
earth.
D. Aside from the hard-boiled egg, what other things
can you compare to the earth’s interior layers?
OUR HOME PLANET, EARTH
Objectives:
Describe the properties of
the layers of the Earth.
Tell the composition of the
layers of the Earth.

Asthenosphere
Stanley, 1989, p. 14
Continental
mainly made up of silicon, oxygen,
aluminum, calcium, sodium, and
potassium
mostly 35-40 kilometers
• GRANITE -crystalline
igneous rock
composed primarily of
quartz and feldspar.
• forms from slowly
cooling magma that
is subjected to
extreme pressures
deep beneath the
earth's.
The Crust: Oceanic
• BASALT -volcanic rock
• forms from lava flows along
mid-ocean ridges and also in
igneous intrusions such as
dikes and sills.
• Columnar jointing, pictured
here at Devil's Tower,
Wyoming, occurs when
molten basalt cracks as it
cools, producing separate,
polygonal fractures on the
surface of the rock.
