    The Earth is made up of four main layers - the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the top solid layer where humans live, ranging from 5-75km thick. Below is the mantle, the largest part of the Earth made of rock, which is divided into the rigid upper mantle and soft lower mantle. At the center is the core, with a liquid outer core surrounding a solid inner core made of iron and nickel.
