Earth's interior is made up of layers of different material, from the crust to the inner core. The crust is the outermost layer, and is made up of solid rock. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which is made up of hot liquid rock. The innermost layer is the core, which is made up of iron and nickel and is very hot.

Mantle: The layer of the Earth just beneath the crust and above the outer core. It is made up mostly of molten rock and is about 2,900 kilometers thick. Outer Core: The layer of the Earth located beneath the mantle and above the inner core. It is made up of liquid iron and nickel and is approximately 2,200 kilometers thick. Inner Core: The innermost layer of the Earth located beneath the outer core. It is made up of solid iron and nickel and is approximately 1,250 kilometers thick.
