Layers of the Earth From Crust to Core

Dr. Binocs introduces the Earth's structure, comparing it to a pizza. He explains the Earth's crust, mantle, and core, detailing their composition and characteristics. The crust is the outermost layer, thicker on land than under oceans. The mantle, the largest layer, is made of solid rock and accounts for most of Earth's mass. The outer core is molten lava, while the inner core is a solid iron-nickel ball, as hot as the sun's surface. The video concludes with fun facts and an invitation to learn more.
