Document Summary

Well, the earth is integrated with the things living on it. The evolution of life is dependent of the evolution of the earth itselfwhich have to do with its composition. The heavier elements are towards the center of the earth and the lighter ones towards the surface. The mantle is 83% of the volume of the earth. The crust is the rigid outermost layer of the planet. There is continental crust, which we"re standing upon. This crust that we"re standing on, that forms the floor of ocean basins is sitting on top of a thin layer of the mantle. The crust + the thin layer of mantle right below are together called the lithosphere. The lithosphere is sitting on top of the asthenosphere. It is broken into a series of plates, which are composed of either continental crust, or oceanic crust, or bothand these plates are movingbut they"re not moving in the same direction.
