Earth Layers

The land at the bottom of the ocean belongs to this layer.

This is the thinnest layer.

There is so much pressure here that liquid metals are compressed into a solid.

This layer is made of liquid iron and nickel.

This is the layer where you find magma.

This layer is the coolest (least warm) layer.

Convection currents in this layer cause movement in tectonic plates.

This is the only layer that is made entirely of liquid.

This layer is where tectonic plates are found.

This layer is made of liquid metals that spin, which creates Earth's magnetic field.

The movement of magma in this layer causes tectonic plates to shift, which causes earthquakes.

Almost 2/3 of the Earth's mass is made up of this layer.

This layer is made up of solid rocks.

This layer is made mostly of solid iron.

You find this layer at the center of the Earth.
