Earth Structure

The document defines key parts of the Earth's internal structure including the crust, mantle, inner core, and outer core. The crust is the outer surface of Earth, which is thin like the skin of an orange and thinner under the oceans. The mantle is a rocky layer located under the crust that is extremely hot at around 5000 degrees C. The inner core is the solid iron-nickel center of Earth that is very dense and under great pressure.
