I will be covering the earths layers.
The Crust
The Mantle
The outer core
The inner core
The Crust
We walk on the crust, it is thin and can break. It's 5-70km deep depending where you are. It is made up of Tectonic plates that rub together to make an earthquake. And where they meet, sometimes they make mountains or volcanoes.
The Mantle
The mantle is the hottest layer and it is liquid and solid. It is where the lava of volcanoes come from. Near where the crust meets it, it is about 1000 Celsius. And near where it meets the core it is 3700 Celsius.
The outer core
The outer core is made from melted metal (iron)
The inner core
Since we have never been in the inner core (Or anywhere else but the crust), scientists believe the inner core is solid iron
Your diagram is nice and clear and I couldn't image what would happen if Earth was a square? Agreed Oh, no! How are the volcanoes made in the mantle and why bisn't the core the hottest as it is in the centre of the Earth? Look forward to reading your explanation : >
ReplyDeleteHi Izzy, I really like your diagrams and how you are clear with your descriptions. You might want to find out a few more facts about each layer for your explanation. Have fun
