The video explores the Earth's structure, comparing it to an onion with layers: crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the outermost layer, composed of basalt and granite. The mantle, beneath the crust, is semi-liquid and responsible for tectonic activity. The core, at the center, consists of an outer liquid layer and a solid inner layer, generating Earth's magnetic field. Scientists study these layers to understand Earth's formation and predict natural phenomena.
