What each part does

Crust: The thin, rocky outer layer we live on: about 5 to 70 km thick.
Mantle: The thickest layer, about 2,900 km of hot rock that flows very slowly.
Outer core (liquid): A layer of liquid iron and nickel. Its movement creates Earth’s magnetic field.
Inner core (solid): A solid ball of iron and nickel at the center, kept solid by enormous pressure despite being about as hot as the Sun’s surface.
