10. Alvin the most famous deep submergence vehicle (remote controlled)
11. Lithosphere A rigid layer made up of the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust.
(Litho=rock)
12. Asthenosphere The soft layer of the mantle on which the lithosphere floats and tectonic plates
move.
(Astheno=liquid)
13. Oceanic crust -Basalt
-more dense than continental crust
-less thick than continental crust
-young
-destroyed and recycled over time
-dark in color (Basalt is usually dark grey to black in colour, due to its high
content of augite or other dark-coloured pyroxene minerals, but can exhibit a wide
range of shading. Some basalts are quite light-coloured due to a high content of
plagioclase, and these are sometimes described as leucobasalts)
-rich in iron and magnesium
