Earth's Layers and Composition

The video tutorial introduces the globe as a model of Earth, highlighting its spherical shape and rotation. It then delves into the Earth's internal structure, explaining the four distinct layers: inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. Each layer's composition and temperature are discussed, and a model is created using colored clay to represent these layers. The tutorial concludes by cutting the model to reveal the layers, providing a visual understanding of Earth's structure.

What does the globe primarily demonstrate about the Earth?

• The Earth's weather patterns

• The Earth's internal layers

• The Earth's spherical shape and rotation

• The Earth's magnetic field

What feature of the Earth is not shown by the globe?
