The outermost layer of Earth is the crust, then going inward in order are the lithosphere, asthenosphere, lower mantle, outer core, and inner core. The Inner core, Asthenosphere, and lower mantle are solid because the pressure acting on them is greater than the heat of it. The Outer core is liquid because it's pressure is lower than it's temperature. The Lithosphere is plastic-like, able to move, yet solid. The crust is a solid because it has little pressure acting on it and therefore has little heat.
