Composition of the Earth

composition of the Earth

• the outermost layer of Earth (thinnest layer)

• the 3 layers that make up the Earth (crust, mantle, core)

• the middle layer (most of the Earth's mass)

• a substance composed of 2 or more elements

lithosphere

• liquid layer of the Earth's core that lies beneath the mantle

• strong, lower part of the mantle

• the plastic layer of the mantle on which pieces of lithosphere move

• outermost, rigid layer of the Earth (the crust and the upper, rigid part of the mantle)
