  • The crust, mantle, and core are the three main layers of the Earth.

These three layers each have multiple layers as well.

  • Mantle: lithosphere (shared with crust), asthenosphere, central mantle (transition zone) and lower mantle. a semi-solid magma layer consisting of iron, magnesium, and silicon.
