Earth's Interior Structure

Lithosphere

• The lithosphere encompasses the entire planet's interior structure, including rocks, minerals, landforms, and the processes that shape the surface.

Crust

• The crust is the outermost and thinnest layer of the Earth.
• There are two types of crust: oceanic and continental.

Mantle

• The mantle is the thickest layer of the Earth.
• It is composed of semi-liquid hot magma.

Core

• The core is composed of two parts: an outer liquid core and an inner solid core.
• The core is responsible for generating the Earth's magnetic field.
