Earths Interior

The planet earth is made up of three main shells.

Earths interior. The crust the mantle and the core. This work is divided into eight chapters that primarily focus on the physical chemical and petrological state. The earths core lies in the center of our planet and contains 15 of its mass.

The deepest layer is a solid iron ball about 1 500. It is believed to have solidified as a result of pressure freezing which occurs to most liquids when temperature decreases or pressure increases. The core is divided into a liquid outer core and a solid inner core.

Continental crust igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The crust is the outer layer of the earth and it is made of rigid rocks. Earths interior is divided into three main sections.

1 7 of the earth s mass. Earth s interior is generally divided into three major layers. Earthquake waves used to find earth s interior layers it is impossible for drilling equipment to drill to the core of the earth.

The earth s interior three major layers three major layers inside the earth interior are the crust mantle and the core. Scientists divide the mantle into the upper and lower mantle. The very thin brittle crust the mantle and the core.

The crust silicate rocks primarily granite and basalt. The internal structure of earth is layered in spherical shells. The mantle and core are each divided into two parts.
