Layers of the Earth Layers of Earth • The Earth is divided into four main layers. *Inner Core *Outer Core *Mantle *Crust The Crust * The Earth’s crust is like the skin of an apple. It is very thin compared to the other three layers. *The crust makes up 1% of the Earth. * The crust of the Earth is broken into many pieces called plates. The Mantle • The mantle is the layer below the crust. • The mantle is the largest layer of the Earth. • The mantle is divided into two regions: the upper and lower sections. Outer Core * The core of the Earth is like a ball of very hot metals. * The outer core is liquid. * The outer core is made up of iron and is very dense. Inner Core • The inner core of the Earth has temperatures and pressures so great that the metals are squeezed together and are not able to move. * The inner core is a solid. Compare Earth’s layers to an apple EARTH Crust Mantle APPLE Skin Fruit Outer Core Outer Core Inner Core Seed Drawing to Scale… What does that mean? The whole idea behind creating scale drawings is to allow the drafter to create a drawing which is proportionately the same as the artifact it represents. Examples of using scale to illustrate real things.
