The external layer (crust) shows the Earth's surface topography and atmosphere,including land,water and clouds. The crust extends downwards for around 35 kilometres. The mantle (solid and semi-molten rock,orange) extends downwards for 2855 kilometres. The outer core (red) is a liquid layer of iron and nickel,extending downwards for another 2210 kilometres. The inner core (yellow) is a solid sphere of iron-nickel alloy,with a radius of around 1278 kilometres | |
