2. The Layers of the Earth This slide show is a mini- lesson on the layers of the Earth. Click for Next Slide

3. What are the layers of the Earth? The Earth is made of four layers, the inner core, the outer core, the mantle, and the crust. The crust is the outermost layer, followed by the mantle, outer core, and the inner core. The lithosphere is a another layer of the Earth that is made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. Click for Next Slide

4. The Earth’s Layers Crust - The Earth's outermost surface is called the crust. The crust is relatively light and brittle. Most earthquakes occur within the crust. Mantle - The mantle is relatively flexible so it flows instead of fracturing. Outer core – Fluid layer that contains iron. When it flows it generates the Earth’s magnetic field. Inner core – Solid innermost layer of the Earth. Click for Next Slide
