Interior structure of the earth

In Class 11 Geography, this topic from the chapter “Interior of the Earth” explains how scientists understand the planet’s hidden layers. Students study the crust, mantle, and core, along with the differences between the inner and outer core. They explore how seismic waves, gravity, density, temperature, and pressure provide evidence about Earth’s composition and physical state. The topic also introduces major discontinuities that mark boundaries between layers and helps connect Earth’s internal structure with processes such as volcanism, earthquakes, and plate movement.

View options
  1. It only changes atmospheric pressure
  2. It reduces ocean salinity

  4. It blocks sunlight
View options
  1. In upper atmosphere
  2. On ocean surface
  3. Above crust
  4. At the base of lower mantle near core boundary
View options
  1. Because mines are very shallow compared with total Earth depth
  2. Because mines go directly to the core
  3. Because mines have no heat
  4. Because mines exist only in the sky
View options
  1. Because oceanic crust is mainly basaltic, denser, and comparatively thin
  2. Because pressure from seawater permanently compresses the crust and makes it thinner
  3. Because the mantle is absent beneath oceanic regions

  4. Atmosphere is denser than core
View options
  1. Glacial erosion
  2. Geodynamo process
  3. River deposition
