The crust is the Earth's outermost layer, where we
live. It mainly consists of lighter rocks, such as basalt
Crust in the oceanic crust and granite in the continental crust. The boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle is called the Mohorovičić discontinuity (or Moho). It occurs from 5 to 10 kilometers beneath the ocean floor to about 20 to 70 kilometers beneath continental interiors. The Moho represents the transition from the relatively low-density crust to the higher-density mantle. Beneath the crust lies the mantle, extending to a depth of about 2,900 kilometers. The mantle contains silicate rocks that are rich in iron and magnesium. It is divided into two sections, the Mantle Upper mantle is more rigid and behaves elastically on short time scales and the Lower mantle that is solid but flows on geological timescales.
The outer core extends from 2,900 kilometers to
about 5,150 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface. It mainly consists of liquid iron and nickel. The motion within this layer generates the Earth's magnetic field. The inner core is the central part of the Earth, extending from a depth of about 5,150 kilometers to Outer Core the Earth's center at about 6,371 kilometers. Despite being very hot, the inner core is solid due to immense pressure and it is primarily composed of iron, with minor amounts of nickel and other lighter elements.
