The Profile of Earth's Layers

The following diagram is a profile of Earth’s layers as they are currently understood by geologists. Included with each layer is important information about them.

Categories of Rocks

Rocks are classified according to the ways they are made and the proportion of various minerals that form them.

The diagram illustrates what geologists call the rock cycle. Although all rocks are classified into three categories, rocks can change categories over millions of years. Rocks change from one type to another through extreme heat, pressure, and weathering caused by rain, wind, ice, or water.

Vertical eruptions are the classic image of volcanic activity. Vertical eruptions occur when lava rises up through the magma chamber and explodes out the top of the volcano.

A lateral eruption occurs when lava explodes out the side of a volcano instead of the top. Lateral eruptions occur because lava travels the easiest path as it escapes the mountain. Often this is not straight up but sideways.

The diagram describes the subduction process that occurs as the Juan de Fuca Plate collides with the North American Plate. As the heavier Juan de Fuca Plate slides under the lighter North American Plate, magma is pushed up and released through volcanoes.

This map describes the geologic development of Washington. Washington began one billion years ago as the edge of the North American continent. This small sliver of land was all that existed of Washington until 205 million years ago, when the Kootenay Arc became part of the state. After the Kootenay Arc,
the Okanogan Sub-Continent joined Washington, followed by the Blue Mountains and North American Sub-Continent. More recently, at least in geologic terms, the Olympic Peninsula/ Willapa Hills, the Cascade Mountains, Columbia Plateau, and Olympic Mountains all joined Washington. The final geologic developments, the Palouse Hills, Cascade Volcanoes, and Puget Sound Lowlands were new landforms created from existing landscapes.
