Earth's Layers and Composition

The video tutorial provides an overview of Earth's structure, detailing its four main layers: the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the thinnest layer, with variations in thickness between continental and oceanic regions. The mantle, divided into upper and inner sections, is characterized by increasing pressure and temperature. The core consists of a solid inner core and a liquid outer core, which generates Earth's magnetic field. The tutorial uses a model to visually represent these layers.
