the layers of the Earth

 

 INNER COREScientists think that the inner core is solid and mainly made of iron. Iron is very hard that’s why knights used it to make their armour.
OUTER CORE The outer core is also mostly iron but this layer is liquid iron.
MANTLE The next layer is called the mantle. It is made of rock. It is very hot in this part of the Earth, causing the rock to behave a little bit like a liquid and a solid.
CRUST The crust is the part of the Earth that we walk on. Compared to the other layers, it is quite thin and breakable. You can think of the crust of the Earth as being a bit like the crust of a pie
Tectonic platesScientists think that the crust of the Earth is made up of six large tectonic plates and a few smaller ones. These plates fit together like puzzle pieces and float on the partially molten mantle.

    Hi Angus, I really like your diagram and matching facts about the Earth's layers. Be careful with your spelling. Have fun.
