| Earth's hidden layers, from the crust to the molten core, reveal a dynamic and complex interior. The crust, Earth's outermost layer, is a solid, rocky shell divided into continental and oceanic types. Beneath it lies the mantle, a thick, semi-solid layer of silicate minerals that slowly flows, driving plate tectonics. Deeper still is the outer core, composed of liquid iron and nickel, creating Earth's magnetic field through its convective movements. At the center is the inner core, a solid sphere of iron and nickel, extremely hot and under immense pressure. These layers interact continuously, shaping Earth's geology and affecting its surface. |
