The Earth consists of four primary layers: the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. The inner core is solid and composed mainly of iron and nickel, with temperatures exceeding 5,000 degrees Celsius. Surrounding it, the outer core is liquid and generates Earth's magnetic field through its convective movements. The mantle, extending up to about 2,900 kilometers thick, is semi-solid and flows slowly, while the crust is the thin, outermost layer where we live, made up of solid rock and varying in thickness from about 5 to 70 kilometers.

How does the temperature change going from layer to layer?
As you move from the Earth's core to the surface, the temperature generally decreases. However, within the Earth's layers, there are fluctuations in temperature due to various factors like the material composition and heat generation processes. Generally, the temperature increases deeper into the Earth due to geothermal heat.
Is mars going to smash into earth?
No, Mars is in a stable orbit, and isn't going to come anywhere near Earth.
Why is sedimentary rock important in the study of earth's history?
Sedimentary rock provides evidence of the history of rock. But how? It's very simple. There are different layers of earth piled on top of each other. They may contain fossils or other organic materails. Scientists study the layers of the Earth and do that by looking at the soil and rock. The type of sediment in different layers will, of course, be different. Therefore, scientists can figure out about the type of year or years that the occupants of the Earth had.
How does orbiting earth effect astronauts?
First of all the low gravity decreases all the muscle tone inside the astronaut. They find themselves unable to keep their food down in zero gravity. Then their is time. Time goes faster for them as they are away from the earth. It is because they are away from a earth a heavy body. Im not going to explain this in details as the answer is not for this question.
What observer on the earth will experience when one star is going away from the earth?
increasing wavelength
What is going on inside the Earth that causes its high temperature?
The high temperature inside the Earth is primarily caused by the heat generated from the decay of radioactive elements, as well as the residual heat from the planet's formation billions of years ago. This heat is trapped within the Earth's layers, leading to its high temperature.
What are the three layers on the Sun?
There are actually 5 layers. Going from the inside out they are: Thermonuclear Core, Radiative Zone, Convective Zone, Photosphere, and the Chromosphere.
How have scientists been able to determine the composition of Earth's layers?
Severals methods are all combined to give the scientist info on the layers of the Earth. For example they study the influence of the earth on orbits of the moon and other planets (mass distribution of the earth, mass density). They study the way seismic waves go through the earth which gives knowledge of layers. They use wave to sound. They examine sample of earth.

What are the three main layers of earth based on composition?
Physically, the Earth has numerous layers. Chemically, however, the solid portion of Earth can be divided into three distinct layers. In order from the surface going down, they are as follows: 1. The Crust--Major chemical constituents are oxygen, silicon, and aluminum. 2. The Mantle--Major chemical constituents are silicon, oxygen, iron, and magnesium. 3. The Core--Mostly iron and nickel.

What is the correct order starting from the surface of the Earth's layers?
The correct order of Earth's layers from the surface going inwards is: crust (continental and oceanic), mantle (upper and lower), outer core, and inner core. Each layer has distinct characteristics such as composition and state of matter.
Why are there different layers in the atmosphere?
The different layers of the atmoshpere are classified by their temperature the troposhere gets colder as you go up because you are going farter away from the earth. When you reach the stratosphere it gets warmer because the ozone layer and the mesoshere is freezing cold. and the thermoshere is for than 2000 F.
When was Going Inside a Storm created?
Going Inside a Storm was created in 1965.

In detail what do you do in sex?
In detail - how old are you? You can find answers at the library. You can find answers online. No one is going to tell you how to have sex.
What place has the most people?
i think the other sentence that says most people live on earth,but some live in earth is a lie because no one can ever live inside the earth because the the inside of the earth is mostly the core and the mantle so most people just live on the earth and the gravety is pushing us down so we wont fall off the earth okey and ignore the man or women and or lil girl or boy because they just acting stupid and just trying to mess with your head so when you go to skool and tell your teacher that people live inside of the earth the teacher is going to tell you that your wrong in front of everyone and everyone is just going to paugh ay you okey and then all of your friends are going to make fun of you forever so just don't say someone live in side the earth.
