• Planet Book
• 21.3 RSG
•
The four planets that are closest
to the sun are called the
TERRESTRIAL PLANETS.
•
These planets have rocky crusts
and dense mantles and cores.
•
Scientists study Earth to learn
more about other planets.
•
All of the terrestrial planets
formed in similar ways and
follow similar patterns.
•
All terrestrial planets have
layers.
– The heaviest materials form the
core.
– Lighter rock formed a mantle
around the core.
– The lightest rock rose to the
surface and formed a crust.
• Tectonics is the processes of
change in a crust due to the
motion of hot material
underneath.
• The crusts of the planets can
be twisted, wrinkled up, or
stretched out by the mantle.
• Volcanism occurs when
molten rock moves from a
planet’s hot interior onto its
surface.
• When the inside of a planet
cools enough, no more molten
rock reaches the surface.
• Weather or small impacts
break down rocks.
• The broken material is moved
by a group of processes called
erosion.
• The material may form dunes,
new layers of rock, or other
features.
• A small object sometimes hits
a planet’s surface so fast that
it causes an explosion.
• The crater it leaves behind
can be 10 times larger than
the object that created it!
• The next four slides will tell you
how these processes affected the
Earth.
• Complete the “EARTH” page in
your planet book.
• Earth’s crust is split into large
pieces called tectonic plates.
• These plates are moved by
Earth’s hot mantle.
• Mountains, valleys and other
features form as the plates move.
• On Earth, magma often builds up
into mountains and eventually
erupts as lava.
• On Earth,
weathering and
erosion create
sedimentary
rocks, sand
dunes, fill in
lakes, and
change the
topography.
• On Earth, impact craters are
generally erased by other
geologic processes.
• Impact craters can be found
under lakes.
• Mass: 6 x 1024 kg
• Diameter: 12,800 km
• Average distance from the
sun: 1 AU
(150 million km)
• Orbits in: 365 days
• Rotates in: 24 hours
•
Beyond Mars stretches the
outer solar system where the
four largest planets slowly orbit
the sun.
• We call these planets,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and
Neptune, the gas giants.
•
The gas
giants are
made mainly
of hydrogen,
helium, and
other gases.
•
•
When you think of gases, you
probably think of Earth’s air,
which is not very dense.
However, the giant planets are
so large and have such huge
amounts of these gases that
they have a LOT of mass.
• The HUGE gravitational force
from such a large mass is
enough to pull the gas
particles close together and
make the atmosphere very
dense.
• Inside, the gases become
more dense than water.
• The outermost parts are less
dense and more like Earth’s
atmosphere.
Jupiter
Imagine traveling into one…
• At first the atmosphere is thin
and very cold. There may be a
haze of gases.
Saturn
Saturn
• A little lower is a layer of clouds
that reflect sunlight, just like
on Earth. There are strong
winds and other weather
patterns.
Neptune
• Lower down, it
is warmer and
there are layers
of clouds of
different
materials.
Uranus
• As you go farther, the
atmosphere gradually
becomes dense enough to be
called a liquid. It also gets
thousands of degrees hotter
as you get closer to the center
of the planet!
• The materials
around you
become more
and more dense
until they are
solid.
Neptune
