It is divided into four primary parts, extending from the surface to the Earth's center: the crust, which is the outermost rocky layer; the mantle, a thick layer of semi-liquid rock; the outer core, composed of liquid iron and nickel; and the inner core, the solid, hottest layer at Earth's center
Geosphere
The Earth's solid, rocky outer layer where we live.
Crust
This is the thicker, less dense crust that forms the continents and large landmasses, composed mainly of granitic rocks. It is much older than oceanic crust, with some parts containing rocks over four billion years old.
Continental Crust
This is the thinner, denser crust found under the oceans, primarily made of basaltic rocks. It's relatively young, with the oldest oceanic crust being around 170 million years old.
Oceanic Crust
The Earth's core is as hot as the surface of the sun, with temperatures estimated to range from?
5,000 to 6,000° Celsius (9,000 to 11,000° Fahrenheit)
It is a dense, thick layer of mostly solid silicate rock located between the crust and the core, making up about 84% of Earth's volume.
Mantle
It is the hottest and densest part of the planet, with temperatures rivaling that of the Sun's surface.
