Describe the earth’s interior.

1.	Describe the earth’s interior.
Answer» 1. The earth has a radius of 6440 km. 2. The temperature increases at a rate of 1°C for every 32 mts. of depth. 3. The temperature at the centre of the earth would be 6000° C. 4. As such the rocks will be in molten stage. 5. Pressure also increases when one goes deeper into the earth. 6. The earth is made up of three layers. They are : 1) Crust, 2) Mantle, 3) Core. 7. These layers differ from one another in thickness and also in their physical and chemical compositions. The Earth is divided into three main layers. The dense, hot inner core (yellow), the molten outer core (orange), the mantle (red), and the thin crust (brown), which supports all life in the known universe. Earth's interior is generally divided into three major layers: the crust, the mantle, and the core.
