Earth’s Layers: Understanding Our Planet's Structure

The Earth is made up of four main layers: the inner core, outer
core, mantle, and crust. Each layer has unique properties and plays an
important role in how our planet functions. Let’s explore these layers and
learn about the lithosphere and asthenosphere.

1, Inner Core
The inner core is the deepest layer of the Earth. It is a solid ball made mostly
of iron and nickel. Despite being extremely hot, the inner core remains solid
due to the immense pressure from the layers above it.

2. Outer Core
The outer core surrounds the inner core. It is a liquid layer made of molten
iron and nickel. The movement of this layer creates Earth’s magnetic field,
which protects us from harmful solar radiation.

3. Mantle
The mantle is the
thickest layer of the
Earth, located between
the outer core and the
crust. It is made of semi-
solid rock that flows
very slowly over time.
This movement causes
tectonic plates to shift,
leading to earthquakes
and volcanic activity.

4, Crust
The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth. Itis a thin, solid layer where
we live. The crust is divided into two types: continental crust (which forms
land) and oceanic crust (which forms the ocean floor).

Lithosphere and Asthenosphere
The lithosphere includes the
crust and the uppermost part §
of the mantle. It is rigid and
broken into tectonic plates.
Below the lithosphere is
the asthenosphere, a semi-
fluid layer in the mantle that
allows the tectonic plates to
move.

Conclusion
Understanding Earth’s layers helps us learn how our planet works. From the
solid inner core to the moving tectonic plates, each layer plays a vital role in
shaping the world we live in.

Plate Tectonics: Understanding the Forces that Shape Our Earth
Plate Tectonics: mgpajadgo[gén3 egogp:eocon serrqpigé
géto3ehsangiscondsyps
The Earth’s surface, or crust, is not one solid piece. Instead, it is made up of
many large and small pieces called tectonic plates. These plates float on the
semi-fluid layer of the mantle beneath them. The movement of these plates
is called plate tectonics.

the surface. This pushes the older crust away, causing plates to move.

Why is Plate Tectonics Important?
Understanding plate tectonics helps
scientists predict natural disasters like
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. It also
explains how continents and oceans have
changed over millions of years.
