Crust Outermost layer Made up of Continental crust & oceanic crust
Very thin (25 miles deep) Made up of rocks (Oceanic-basalt) (Continental-granite) Least dense
3
Mantle Layer under the crust
Convection Currents occur here to allow plates to move Thickest layer (1800 miles) Flows like thick liquid (magma)-very hot

Outer Core Liquid Made up of Iron and Nickel
Pressure is so great you would be squeezed into a tiny ball smaller than marble
5
Inner Core Solid Made up of Iron and Nickel
Most dense of all the layers Pressure is the greatest here 9000 degrees- HOTTTT!!
