Sol. The outermost layer of the earth is called crust. It is also known as earth's crust.
- Earth's crust constitutes less than 1% of the earth's volume.
- Earth's crust is made up of soil, rocks and different types of minerals and mostly covered with water.
- The crust, mantle, and core are the three main layers of the Earth.
These three layers each have multiple layers as well.
- Crust: the main crust and the lithosphere (bottom of crust shared with upper mantle). the outer layer of rock on which humans and animals live and plants grow.
- Mantle: lithosphere (shared with crust), asthenosphere, central mantle (transition zone) and lower mantle. a semi-solid magma layer consisting of iron, magnesium, and silicon.
- Core: inner core (solid) and outer core (liquid). centrally located solid mass of metal (inner core) and a liquid mass of iron and nickel (outer core).
