In much of the earth, the last two factors do not change with depth, as appears to be the case within the lower mantle, or the outer core, or the inner core. Within these regions the density changes with depth mainly because the increase in pressure compresses the material. Temperature plays a secondary role within these regions, because the temperature does not change very much within those compositionally more homogeneous parts of the earth. Within those regions the temperature change as a function of depth may be close to adiabatic. A way to imagine the adiabatic temperature gradient is a follows: assemble the earth with its present distribution of material but without gravity. The material is uncompressed and there is no pressure increase with depth. Set the initial temperature everywhere to the earth's surface temperature. Now turn gravity back on. The gravitational pressure causes the material to contract, with material compressing more at greater depths because of the greater pressure. The temperature will also increase because of the compression. If this is done such that no heat is gained or lost by any given piece of the material, the temperature increase for any parcel of matter will be adiabatic, and the temperature increase with depth will thus be adiabatic. Another more realistic way to have an approximate adiabatic temperature distribution is to have material convect heat from the hotter interior to the cooler exterior. The heat is carried upwards by the upwards movement or flow of material, while material cooled near the surface descends. If the temperature gradient (increase of temperature with depth) is adiabatic, then upwards movement of a parcel of material will not result in a temperature difference of the parcel with respect to the surrounding material. However, if the temperature gradient is greater than adiabatic (super-adiabatic), the temperature of an upwards moving parcel will only decrease by the adiabatic gradient, and so will be greater than that of its surroundings. This is shown in the following figure.
2 GS388 Handout: Radial density distribution via the Adams-Williamson equation 2 temperature temperature excess of parcel at shallower depth adiabatic gradient depth in situ geotherm: super adiabatic temperature gradient upward movement of parcel with adiabatic gradient Because the temperature is greater than the surroundings, the material will be less dense, assuming that mantle is chemically homogeneous and no phase changes occur. The parcel will therefore experience an upwards directed bouyancy force, i.e., the lighter parcel will tend to rise in the superadiabatic temperature field.the upwards directed bouyancy can thus lead to upwards motion of material, thereby transporting heat by convection. Convection is a much more rapid means for moving heat out of the earth than conduction. In the steady state the heat flowing out will equal the heat generated within, and the temperature gradient will tend to be just slightly greater than adiabatic by the amount that is required to maintain the convection. The amount required depends upon the resistance to flow in the mantle, i.e. its viscosity. Throughout most of the mantle (except within the lithosphere) the mantle is convecting, so within those regions it is reasonable to assume that the temperature gradients are not far from adiabatic. We can therefore consider the case where density as a function of pressure and temperature under adiabatic conditions. The way to do this is to choose, instead of temperature, another thermodynamic variable called entropy, denoted by the symbol, S, which is defined such that the gain or loss of heat divided by the temperature is equal to the entropy change. Entropy is a constant for the adiabatic situation, because no heat is lost or gained. So, instead of considering density as a function of pressure and temperature, as one often does in thermodynamic calculations, we can consider density as a function of pressure and entropy, r(p,s). The advantage of this is that the adiabatic and non-adiabatic effects are made explicit. Density will vary as P and S are changed, and both P and S might change with radius, R. In the adiabatic case, S will not change, which simplifies things. Thus in general we can write the change of density with change in radius as follows: dρ ρ dp ρ ds = P + S S If S is constant because the change with depth is adiabatic, then ds/ =, and the last term drops out. Thus we have the simple Adams-Williamson equation by substituting dp/ = - ρg (simple hydrostatic pressure in a self gravitating fluid) and use the definition of the bulk modulus, k, to substitute for the other derivative. P ρ = κ ρ S P
3 GS388 Handout: Radial density distribution via the Adams-Williamson equation 3 Here k must is the bulk modulus under adiabatic conditions. This is what seismic waves measure, because the compressions and dilations of the waves are too rapid for any appreciable amount of heat to flow in or out during the passage of the waves. From seismic wave velocities we can get the ratio κ/ρ = φ by calculating φ = V p V s 2 which follows from the definitions of the seismic wave velocities. We thus have the simple Adams- Williamson equation for adiabatic conditions, dρ = - ρg φ This is the basic equation for calculating density as a function of depth with regions of the earth that are homogeneous and approximately adiabatic: the upper mantle below the lithosphere, the lower mantle, the outer core, and the inner core. Effect of non-adiabatic temperature gradient Note that the adiabatic equation above does not assume constant temperature, but only that the temperature gradient is adiabatic. The second term in the original equation deals with the effect of a temperature gradient that is not adiabatic. Let us explicitly consider this by viewing the temperature gradient (dt/) insitu to consist of an adiabatic part (dt/) ad plus a non-adiabatic part (dt/) nad. We can thus subtract the adiabatic part from the total temperature gradient to get the non-adiabatic part as follows (where the gradients are taken with respect to R and are thus negative), where the first term on the right side of the equation is the adiabatic gradient: dt T dp dt = P non_ ad S in_ situ The second term in the previous equation for the density gradient can be reduced to the following form: ρ ds dt S P non_ ad where α is the coefficient of thermal expansion, 1 ρ α = ρ T P Thus the complete equation with both adiabatic and non-adiabatic effects is dρ ρg dt = + αρ ϕ non_ ad Note that the non-adiabatic temperature term is opposite that of the adiabatic term. For a temperature gradient that increases with depth at a rate greater than adiabatic (-dt/ exceeds the adiabatic gradient) the effect is to reduce the increase in density with depth that would be calculated with the
4 GS388 Handout: Radial density distribution via the Adams-Williamson equation 4 adiabatic compression term alone. This makes sense- the effect of increased temperature is to expand the material or reduce the density. Summary of radial variations of density, gravity, and pressure in Earth The following two pages show plots of density, gravity and pressure in the earth as functions of radius. These plots are from an Excel table of the Preliminary Reference Earth Model (PREM) given by Masters and Shearer, Seismic Models of the Earth: Elastic and Anelastic, in Global Earth Physics, A Handbook of Physical Constants, T.J. Aherns, editor, American Geophysical Union, 1995, p The curves represent a modern best fit solution to a large set of body wave and surface wave seismic data in addition to satisfying constraints of total mass and moment of inertia of Earth.
