Carlos Oleaga January 3, 2015 Layers of Earth The Earth is not just a solid ball of rock it has four layers. The four layers are crust, mantle, outer core, and the inner core. Scientists use seismographs after earthquakes to learn about Earth’s layers. This helps them see how the layers form the earthquakes. We live on the crust of the Earth it has grass and minerals. The crust is Earth’s outermost layer of Earth. Earth’s thinnest layer is the crust on top of all the other layers. The crust is mostly made up of solid rock so it is hard to break in some places. The crust is deeper under continents than under oceans. The mantle is the thickest layer out of all the other layers. The mantle is the layer of rock lying below the crust. The mantle’s rock move or flow due to pressure and high temperatures. The outer core is totally liquid and the second to last layer. The outer core is also made up of melted iron. The inner core floats right inside of the outer core. The inner core is a solid sphere. The inner core is located at the center of Earth. There are many more facts about Earth and more interesting facts. Earth has a lot more features than just that.
