Earth’s Interior Understanding Earth’s Interior Before you can learn about plate tectonics, you need to know something about the layers that are found inside Earth. These layers are divided by composition into core, mantle, and crust or by mechanical properties into lithosphere and asthenosphere....

The earths interior has a number of layers. The major layers are the crust, mantle and core. The core is divided into a liquid outer core and a solid inner core.
which include the study of minerals (mineralogy), the three main groups of rocks (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic petrology), thechemistryof rocks (geochemistry), the structures in rocks (structural geology), and the physical properties of rocks at Earth’s surface and in its interior (geo...
roughly spherical layers. Extending from the interior outward, these are the core, the mantle, the crust (including the rocky surface), thehydrosphere(predominantly theoceans, which fill inlowplaces in the crust), theatmosphere(itself divided into spherical zones such as thetroposphere, whereweather...

of the mechanical layer called the lithosphere, and the outermost layer of Earth. The crust is the lightest of the layers, composed of the lightercontinental crustand the denseroceanic crust. Earth's crust is fragmented intoplatesthat are moved by the internal mechanisms within Earth's interior....
Like allterrestrial planets, the Earth’s interior is differentiated. This means that its internal structure consists of layers, arranged like the skin of an onion. Peel back one, and you find another, distinguished from the last by its chemical and geological properties, as well as vast differ...
