THREE LAYERS OF THE

EARTH

(earth science)
• Layers of the Earth
Our Earth consists of four different
layers namely:
• Inner core
• Outer core
• Mantle
• Crust
1.Inner core
• Is the centerand the hottest layer of he Earth. The
inner core is solid and made up of iron and nickel
with temperature up to 5,500oC. Due to immense
heat energy room of the Earth.
2. Outer Core
• The outer core of the Earth is similar to a very hot ball
of metals, whose temperature is around 4000 oF to
9000oF. It is so hot that the metals beside are all in the
liquid state. The outer core is located around1800
miles under the crust and approximately 1400 miles
thick. It is composed of metals such as iron and nickel.
The outer core surrounding the inner core.
• The inner core has pressures and temperatures so high
that the metals are squeezed together and not able to
move like a liquid, but are forced vibrate instead of
solid.
3. Mantle:
• Mantle is the widest section of the Earth. It's thickness is
approximately 2,900 km. Mantle is mainly made up of semi-
molten rock known as magma. The Rock is hard in the upper
part of the mantle, but lower down therock is softer and
begins to melt.
• The mantle is located directly under the Sima. The mantle
consists of very hot and dense rock. This layers rock
flowslike asphalt under heavy weight. This flow is because
of the greatest temperature difference from the bottom to
the top of the mantle. The reason behind the places of the
Earth move is the movement of the mantle. It's temperature
varies between 1600 oF at the upper part to 4000 oF near
the bottom.
