1. • The mantle

     • The mantle At close to 3,000 kilometers (1,865 miles) thick, this is Earth’s thickest layer. It starts a mere 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) beneath the surface. Made mostly of iron, magnesium and silicon, it is dense, hot and semi-solid (think caramel candy).

   Dec 15, 2020 · The earth is split into four major layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. The crust is what humans live on, and it consists of only one percent of the Earth's mass. The centre of the Earth is a solid ball of nickel and iron roughly 70% the size of the moon.

   The outer core of the earth is bounded by the mesosphere above and the solid inner core below. It is estimated to measure about 1,400 miles thick and it starts about 1,800 miles below the surface of Earth. Unlike other layers of earth, the liquid outer core is completely liquid, through and through.

   Is the outer core liquid or solid?

   • Unlike other layers of earth, the liquid outer core is completely liquid, through and through. Other layers have liquid sections, but are partially solid. The liquid outer core is getting bigger at the rate of 1 mm of thickness per year. This will slowly make the outer core larger and the inner core smaller.
