Crust This is the thin, rocky layer we think of as Earth’s
surface. Its thickness changes from about 50 miles to 3 miles.

Mantle This layer is rock hard, but it actually flows around
the outer core, moving about as fast as your fingernails grow.

Outer Core This layer is also made up of mostly iron and nickel,
but here the metals are melted into very hot liquid. This hot liquid forms a layer that moves around the inner core.

Inner Core The center of the Earth is about 6,000 miles below
the Earth’s surface. It is a solid ball made of mostly 2 materials: Iron and Nickel.
If we had a gallon jug of the earths core material, it would weigh more than 100 pounds!

Earthquake: when the surface of the earth that is floating on the mantle shifts from heat build up.
