    Earth's Layer Info

    Uploaded by

    The document describes the layers of the Earth, including the crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the external rocky layer ranging from 6-70km thick. Earthquakes and volcanoes originate in the upper mantle, which is in constant movement. The lower mantle is formed by heavier rocks than the crust over 1,000 degrees Celsius. The outer core is molten iron and nickel, while the inner core is solid iron and nickel due to enormous pressure.

    EARTH'S LAYERS

    Crust
    External layer of rocks. With a thickness between 6 and 70km.

    Upper Mantle
    In constant movement. Earthquakes and volcanoes are originated here.

    Lower Mantle
    Formed by heavier rocks than the crust, at
    more than 1,000 degrees Celsius.

    Outer Core
    Formed by molten iron and nickel.

    Inner Core
    Iron and nickel in solid state
    due to the enormous pressure.
