There is more to the Earth than what we can see on the surface. In fact, if you were able to hold the Earth in your hand and slice it in half, you'd see that it has multiple layers. But of course ...

The layers of Earth diagram. Trevor Nace Layers Of Earth 1. Crust. Earth's crust is what we walk on every day. It is the thin (relatively) outermost layer that wraps around the Earth and ranges in ...

Scientists have long wondered what lies at the center of the Earth. New research is putting weight behind a theory that our home planet has a distinct ball of iron within its metallic core.

A complex core. Earth's core comes in two parts. The liquid outer core starts about 1,800 miles (2,897 kilometers) from the surface of Earth and is made of liquid metals at temperatures of 4,000 ...

The Earth is made up of a total of 7 layers which are- crust, lithosphere (crust and uppermost mantle), asthenosphere (upper mantle directly below the lithosphere), lower mantle, ...

The Earth's cool, thin outer layer, known as the crust, mostly consists of solid rock and is generally around 20-30 miles thick in continental areas, ...

One of geology’s basic principles is that the Earth is made up of four layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core. But this may be squashed in light of a new study that ...
