Question
identify the earths layers write the names of the different interior layers of the earth along with their properties name: crust depth: 5 - 70km state of matter: solid name: mantle depth: state of matter: name: outer core depth: state of matter: name: inner core depth: state of matter:
The Earth's layers are categorized based on depth and state of matter. The mantle, extending from 70 - 2900 km, is semi - solid (plastic - like) due to high temperatures and pressures. The outer core, from 2900 - 5100 km, is liquid (molten iron and nickel). The inner core, from 5100 km to the center (6371 km), is solid (iron and nickel) because extreme pressure keeps it in a solid state despite high temperatures.
