How do the layers of the earth work?

The thinnest layer of the earth that supports life and is home to all living things is called the crust. It is made up of a wide variety of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.

Mantle: Minerals like pyroxene, peridotite, and olivine can be found in the earth's mantle.

Magnetic fields are generated by the outer core.

The earth's inner core is its hottest region and is made mostly of rocky materials.

The layers of the Earth work primarily due to differences in density and composition. The outermost layer, the crust, is solid and divided into tectonic plates. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which is semi-solid and flows over long periods. Deeper still is the outer core, composed of liquid iron and nickel, generating Earth's magnetic field through convection currents. At the center lies the inner core, solid due to immense pressure, contributing to Earth's overall structure and magnetic field.
