Layers of Earth

By: Emily Dykema

❖ The crust covers the entire surface of earth, even underneath the oceans❖The crust floats on top of the second layer of Earth, the mantle❖ Beneath the mantle is the core of Earth

Earth is divided into 3 layers that vary in thickness, texture, and temperature:

Composition of Earth

Mantle     1800                  Solid, Plastic                Hot

Core         2175

Outer  1360                  Liquid                       Very Hot Inner     815                  Solid                         Very Hot
