Earth's Layers

core

• the center part of Earth

• the layer of rock between Earth’s crust and core

• the thin and solid outermost layer of Earth

• describes the layers of Earth by their properties, such as state of matter

mantle

• the center part of Earth

• the layer of rock between Earth’s crust and core

• the thin and solid outermost layer of Earth

• describes the layers of Earth by their properties, such as state of matter

lithosphere

• the movement of matter due to differences in density

• the lowermost layer of the mantle, directly above the core

• the soft layer of the mantle on which the tectonic plates move

• the solid, outer layer of Earth that consists of the crust and the rigid upper part of the mantle

convection

• the movement of matter due to differences in density

• the lowermost layer of the mantle, directly above the core

• the soft layer of the mantle on which the tectonic plates move

• the solid, outer layer of Earth that consists of the crust and the rigid upper part of the mantle

mesosphere

• the movement of matter due to differences in density

• the lowermost layer of the mantle, directly above the core

• the soft layer of the mantle on which the tectonic plates move

• the solid, outer layer of Earth that consists of the crust and the rigid upper part of the mantle

• Earth layers

• the solid center of the Earth

• the liquid layer in between the inner core and mesosphere

• describes the layers of Earth by what they are made of
