2. What is inside the Earth?
There is 4 distinctive layers to the Earth.
Inner Core – A solid ball made of mostly Iron and Nickel and is nearly as hot as the Sun.
Outer Core – It is a liquid layer made out of Magma and helps create the magnetic field.
Mantle – The layer between the Outer Core and the Earth’s crust, consisting of hot rocks
Crust – The outermost layer of the Earth’s surface

Super - Continent
Magma forms in the lower part of the Earth’s crust and in the Mantle layer of the Earth. Magma is a hot semi-solid material that consists of molten rock.

4. Earthquakes: The shaking of the ground, or movement of faults and plates
A break in the Earth’s Surface
Discover (2014)
Tectonic Plates:
Tectonic plates that glide over the mantle layer of the Earth, which can cause movement in the surface, that can cause earthquakes
