Kaylee Olsen

The Earth is composed of four main layers: the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the outermost layer, thin and solid. The mantle lies beneath the crust, composed of semi-solid rock. The outer core is liquid iron and nickel, while the inner core is solid iron and nickel.
