    \xa0The inner core, the outer core, mantle and crust are the four layers of earthThe Inner CoreIt is the centre and the hottest layer of the Earth. The inner core is solid and made up of iron and nickel with temperature up to 5,500oC. Due to its immense\xa0heat energy, the inner core is more like the engine room of the Earth.The Outer CoreThe outer core of the Earth is similar to a very hot ball of metals, whose temperature is around 4000\xa0oF to 90000F. It is so hot that the metals inside are all in the liquid state. The outer core is located around 1800 miles under the crust and approximately 1400 miles thick. It is composed of metals such as iron and nickel. The outer core surrounds the inner core.The inner core has pressures and temperatures so high that the metals are squeezed together and not able to move like a liquid, but are forced to vibrate instead of solid.MantleMantle is the widest section of the Earth. Its thickness is approximately 2,900 km. The mantle is mainly made up of semi-molten rock known as magma. The rock is hard in the upper part of the mantle, but lower down the rock is softer and begins to melt.The mantle is located directly under the Sima. The mantle consists of very hot and dense rock. This layer of rock flows like asphalt under heavy weight. This flow is because of the greatest temperature differences from the bottom to the top of the mantle. The reason behind the plates of the Earth move is the movement of the mantle. Its temperature varies between 1600\xa0oF at the upper part to 4000\xa0oF near the bottom.CrustThe crust is the outer layer where we live. The thickness is around 0-60 km. It’s a solid rock layer divided into two types:\tContinental crust covers the land and,\tOceanic crust covers waterThe crust is the most widely studied and understood. Mantle is hotter and capable of flowing. The outer and inner core are much hotter with great pressures that you can be squeezed into a ball smaller than a marble if you are able to go in the center of the Earth.
