The difference in composition is what caused the Earth to develop layers as it cooled.!Differences in density caused earth to develop layers as it cooled.The earth has different layers because as it formed, the lighter parts (like continental crust) floated to the surface, and the really heavy parts (like iron and nickel in the core) sank to the middle.

Cool dense air from the sea blows towards the land and also cool air from land blows towards the sea. It is caused due to imblance in the atmospheric pressure. And also is caused by the constant motion of the earth.


What two layers of the earth are completely solid?

The inner core and the outermost layer of the Earth, called the crust, are completely solid. The inner core is solid due to high pressure, while the crust is solid because it is relatively cool compared to the layers beneath it.


Why havent people seen layers of earth below the crust?

People have not directly seen the layers of Earth below the crust because they are deep below the surface and covered by the crust and mantle. Most of the information about these layers comes from studying seismic waves and rock samples. Direct observations are limited to areas where the Earth's mantle is exposed due to tectonic activity or volcanic eruptions.


What does a star become when it expands and outer layers cool?

When a star expands and its outer layers cool, it becomes a red giant. This occurs in the later stages of a star's life cycle, particularly for stars with masses similar to the Sun. The expansion is caused by the star running out of hydrogen fuel in its core and beginning to fuse helium into heavier elements.

Why are their layers of rocks on Earth?

Well, with the layers of rock forming over-time thus helping to create structure, to hold the weight of the earth... When the universe was created, the planets were hot massive balls of lava. But, since it is cool in the universe, the planets cooled down on the outside, leaving the lava as the core. Then, as you progress outward from the middle, the layers get cooler. They are different temperatures and the rock is in different conditions.
