?
explain the structure of the earth
the inner core, the outer core, mantle, crust
1 of 7
what is the inner core made of
-6000 degrees - solid - consists of iron- in 2015 seismic data suggested there is another are inner core called the inner inner core.
2 of 7
what is the outer core made of
- 4500-6000 degrees-semi molten -made of liquid iron and nickel
3 of 7
what is the mantle made of
-upper section is solid but below it the rock is semi molten( forming the asthenosphere)
4 of 7
what is the crust made of
There are two types of crust a) oceanic- thin and dense- 6 to 10 km b) a-older -thick- 45 to 50 km-less dense
