Layers of the Earth

Crust
Mantle
Outer Core

Inner Core

Crust – The upper layer of Earth which holds most of the natural resources. And It is our
planet's outermost have a thinnest thin layer, and as well as the least dense of all the others.
Temperature: 1000° Celsius (1832° Fahrenheit)
Thickness: Crust approximately 25 miles or 32 kilometers thick

Mantle – The layer below Earth’s crust. The mantle serves a significant role in the evolution of
the crust as well as provides tectonic plates with thermal and mechanical working complex
factors. a the mantle may have been the last resting place both for descending lithospheric
slabs, and then the destiny of these slabs in the mantle is a source of debate.
Temperature: from 1000° Celsius (1832° Fahrenheit)

Thickness: 2,900 kilometers (1,802 miles) thick

Outer Core: Outer core has a very high density, it is always found to be in a viscous-liquid
state due to the lack of extreme pressure that mostly allows it to become compacted into the a
solid structure.
Temperature: 3700-4300 degrees Celsius.
Thickness: 2270 km thick
Inner Core - It is the hottest and most central area of the planet. The inner core, which is
primarily made up of iron and nickel, also has the highest density of all of the layers. Gold,
platinum, palladium, silver, and tungsten were the most common metals used.
Temperature: 5000-6000 degrees Celsius
Thickness: 1250 km thick

A. lithosphere and asthenosphere
Lithosphere is the Earth's consistently solid outermost layer shell. it's also probably made up
of the crust and a section of the upper mantle that mostly behaves elastically throughout
thousands of years or beyond. The crust, or even outermost shell of a rocky planet, is
distinguished through its chemistry as well as minerals.
Asthenosphere The asthenosphere is the layer below the lithosphere that consists of the
uppermost weaker layer of the mantel. They are solid except for the half molten rocks that give
it a semi-fluid flow and can follow all the properties of plastic.
B. P waves and S waves
Primary waves is the fastest seismic wave that can move through solid rock and fluids.
Secondary waves A wave slower than a P-waves and an only move through solid rock, not
through liquids or gases.
C. Mohorovicic discontinuity and Gutenberg discontinuity
Mohorovicic Discontinuity is the boundary between crust and mantle. depths that average about
22 miles (35 km) beneath the continents and about 6 miles (10 km) beneath the ocean floor.
Gutenberg Discontinuity is the boundary between mantle and core. approximately 2891 km (1796
mi) depth beneath the Earth's surface.

HOW DID SCIENTIST LEARN ABOUT THE STRUCTURE OF INNER EARTH?

It seems to me that maybe they holed deep into the earth and as they grew and dug further,
they'd already made it more hot and that the temperature of the earth's layers was largerly high
degree of heat or a high temperature it is.
