Earth's Layer Characteristics
📌 The Earth is composed of three main layers: the Core (or Barysphere), the Mantle (or Asthenosphere), and the Crust (or Lithosphere).
🔥 The Earth's Core is divided into the inner core (solid, diameter 2,600 km, temperature $\approx 4,800^{\circ}C$) and the outer core (liquid, thickness $\approx 2,250$ km, temperature $\approx 3,900^{\circ}C$), both rich in Iron ($\text{Fe}$) and Nickel ($\text{Ni}$).
⛰️ The Mantle is composed of rocks containing Magnesium ($\text{Mg}$) and Silicon ($\text{Si}$), with the upper mantle temperature ranging from $1,300^{\circ}C$ to $1,500^{\circ}C$.

Crust Composition and Types
🌊 The Earth's Crust (Lithosphere) consists of continental crust and oceanic crust.
📏 Continental crust is thicker ($\approx 20$ to $70$ km), older (up to $4.4$ billion years), and dominated by granitic/sedimentary rocks, characterized by SiAl (Silicon and Aluminum).
🌋 Oceanic crust is thinner ($\approx 5$ to $10$ km), younger (maximum $280$ million years), dominated by basaltic igneous rocks, and characterized by SiMa (Silicon and Magnesium), having a higher density than continental crust.

Rock Classification and Formation
🪨 Rocks are categorized into three main types: Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic.
❄️ Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma, categorized by where they cool: intrusive (deep), hypabyssal (dike), and extrusive (outside), possessing characteristics like hardness and homogeneity (e.g., Granite, Obsidian).
💧 Sedimentary rocks form from the erosion, deposition, and compaction of other rocks, divided into clastic (physical transport, e.g., Sandstone), chemical (precipitation from solution, e.g., Gypsum), and organic (remains of organisms, e.g., Coal).
🔥 Metamorphic rocks change due to extreme pressure and temperature; they are categorized as regional (high temperature/pressure, e.g., Quartzite), dynamic/mechanic (tectonic movement/pressure without high temperature, e.g., Slate), or thermal/contact (high temperature influence, e.g., Marble).

The Rock Cycle
🔄 The rock cycle illustrates the long, non-linear transformation process: Magma cools to form Igneous Rock.
☀️ Igneous rock undergoes weathering and erosion to become sediment, eventually forming Sedimentary Rock.
🌋 Sedimentary rock, subjected to high pressure and temperature, transforms into Metamorphic Rock.
🌋 Metamorphic rock can melt due to processes like subduction, returning to Magma, completing a segment of the cycle. Transformations can skip stages; for example, igneous rock can transform directly into metamorphic rock.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The primary learning objective is to identify the characteristics of the Earth's layers and constituent rocks.
➡️ Continental crust ($\text{SiAl}$) is significantly older (up to $4.4$ billion years) and thicker than oceanic crust ($\text{SiMa}$), which constantly undergoes renewal.
➡️ Rock naming conventions depend on formation; igneous rocks are named by location of cooling (internal/external), while sedimentary and metamorphic rocks are named by the factor of transformation (e.g., clastic, regional).
➡️ Borobudur Temple is constructed from an igneous rock called Andesite.
