Layers of Earth
Amazingly Earth is made up of four layers. There is the crust, the
mantle, the outer core, and the inner core. Scientists use seismographs to
measure and record energy of earthquakes vibrations. This helps them
understand what is inside the Earth.
The crust is where we live. Its Earth’s thinnest layer and it’s made up
of solid rock. The crust has grass dirt, and hard rock. It’s also thicker under
continents than the oceans. The crust is also the outermost layer.
Below the crust is the mantle. This is the thickest layer. Rocks can
move or flow due to pressure and high temperatures. The mantle is
partially molten. There is magnesium, iron, and also oxygen.
The next layer is the outer core and it is a totally liquid layer. This
layer is made of molten iron and nickel. The inner core floats inside the
outer core.
The Earth’s center is called the inner core. It is a solid sphere. The
inner core spins at different rate than the rest of the earth.
It’s hard to imagine that the inside of Earth is so different from the
outside when looking at Earth from space, but each of the layers are very
diverse.
