What are the layers of the Earth?
Three main layers compose the Earth.
This is the most external layer.
It is located right upon the mantle and is divided into many plates, that move over it.
It is composed of the oceanic basaltic plate (6-12 km) and the uppermost continental granitic plate (25-70 km).
This is the second layer that composes the Earth.
It is a very hot and dense rock that is capable of flowing.
Convection currents occur in this layer, rising hot melted material from the deepest region and sinking cold solid material from the surface.
Three layers compose the mantle,
• Upper mantle (40-400km)
• Transition zone (400-670km)
• Inner mantle (2285 km)
This is the third layer and is divided into two sublayers,
- the solid inner core (1216 km)
- the liquid outer core (2270 km)
The core is mainly composed of Ferrum and nickel, and its temperature is about 6000ºC.
The extremely high temperatures are closely involved in material circulation, keeping the Earth's surface temperature, and electromagnetic field.
• The core composes the Endosphere
• The Internal mantle composes the Mesosphere
• The Transition zone and superior mantle compose the Astenosphere
• The Crust composes the Lithosphere

D) Lithosphere
E) Astenosphere
F) Oceanic crust
G) Continental crust
H) Litosphere
I) Outer mantle
J) Astenosphere
