Show transcript
Earth is a spherical, rocky planet with a thin crust, partially covered in water.
Under Earth’s crust is a dense rocky layer, called the mantle.
In the centre of Earth is a solid metallic core surrounded by a liquid outer core.
Temperature and pressure increases towards the centre of Earth, making the inner core extremely hot and solid.
Scientists use models to better understand phenomena, including Earth's structure.
