2 A Slice of the Earth the layers……. Inner Core Outer Core Mantle Crust

3 INNER CORE About 4000 miles below the Earth’s surface is a solid ball of mostly iron and nickel which is the inner core.

4 OUTER CORE The outer core extends to a depth of around 3000 miles beneath the surface. It is believed to be made up of super-heated liquid molten lava. This lava is believed to be mostly iron, and nickel.

5 MANTLE The mantle extends to a depth of approximately 1,800 miles, and is made of a thick solid rocky substance that represents about 85% of the total weight and mass of the Earth

6 CRUST The crust consists of about 10 miles of rock and loose materials. Underneath the continents, the crust is almost three times as thick, as it is under the oceans.
