What do you call the solid part of the earth that is made of metal and rocks
(a)
the outermost and the thinnest layer of Earth ranging from 5 to 100 km thick.
crust
mantle
inner core
outer core
It is where people and other living things live. It is divided into continental and oceanic
crust
mantle
inner core
outer core
the crust beneath the continents that has an average of about 32 km. It is thickest beneath the mountains which can be greater than 70 km.
continental crust
oceanic crust
the crust beneath the oceans with an average thickness of 8 km. It is rich in iron, silicon, and magnesium. It is mostly made of basalt rocks.
continental crust
oceanic crust
It extends to a depth of about 2900 km. It is the largest layer of the Earth that covers 67% of Earth’s mass.
crust
mantle
inner core
outer core
made of thick liquid containing the elements silicon, oxygen, iron, and magnesium that flow like plastic materials.

inner core
outer core
It begins at a depth of about 5150 km below the Earth’s surface. Its temperature reaches up to about 5000°C.
crust
mantle
inner core
outer core
made up of iron and nickel. The great pressure in the inner core pushes the particles of iron and nickel so tightly together that the elements remain solid.
