Inside the Earth The Earth is made up of four main layers-the inner core, outer core, the mantle, and the crust (Fig.23). We live on the outer part ofthe Earth, which is called the crust. This layer coasist of the Upper 30-100 km. The crust mostly consists of igneous rocks; the rest consss of sedimentary and ‘metamorphic rocks. The layer from 0-20 km is called the sial as the two main constituents ae silicon And aluminium, It is 2,7 times denser than water. The next layer is know as sima asa large quantity Of silicon and magnesium is found in this layer.
