  • It is about 2900 km thick.
  • The average density is between 3.0 - 3.3 gm/cm3
  • The upper mantle has a lower temperature than the lower mantle / 1000° to 3000° C.
  • The upper mantle is iii semi-solid state.
  • The lower mantle is composed of rocks in viscous fluid state.
  •  The dominant minerals are silica, iron and magnesium / ferro - magnesium silicate / olivine.

  • Adjacent continents have jig saw fitting coastlines or continental margins.
  • There exists similarity in animal species/ plant species in the continents.
  • Paleoclimatic evidence / Southern continents seem to have experienced large scale glaciation at the same period/presence of ancient glacial deposition in southern continents.
  • Sea floor spreading recent volcanic eruption in mid-Atlantic ridges fill the gaps left by drifting continents.
  • The location of major world fold mountains of the world/ trend of the folds /age of the fold mountains are similar.
  • Paleamagnetism /the alignment of iron minerals in igneous rocks along the earths magnetic field indicate that the continents must have once been together.
  • Geological evidence /existence of rocks which are similar in their formation/structure/types/age along margins of different continents (sharing of oceans).

(c) The diagram below represents the revolution of the earth.

(c) The diagram below represents the revolution of the earth.

​(i) Name the solstice marked P.
