What is responsible for the Earth's magnetic field?

What is the thickest layer of the Earth's interior structure?

What is composed of semi-liquid hot magma?

What is the largest component of the Earth's interior structure?

What is the layer of the Earth that contains all of the planet's interior structure?

What is the layer of the Earth that is divided into outer and inner parts?

What is the layer of the Earth that consists of semi-liquid hot magma?

How is the Earth's interior structure classified based on its mechanical composition?

How is the Earth's interior structure classified based on its chemical composition?

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.
