The Earth's core (there is widespread agreement that there is an inner core and outer core) is made up of mainly iron and nickel. The Earth's mantle which rides atop the core is made of ultramafic rock that is believed to be significantly richer in iron and magnesium than the solid crust above.
The Earth's crust could be considered part of the interior, since the continental exolayer that we live on is largely covered with crushed and finely crushed rocky material such as sands mixed with organic material to form soils. The actual crust is only occasionally exposed in outcroppings, and in mountains where the crust has been upthrust by tectonic plate collisions.

the middle being the core wich is made up of mostly solid metals but still very hot
the outer core is made of hot liquid metals which are also very hot
the mantle wich is megma....obviously hot
and the crust, wich is what we live on, and its made of rock

Is a penny a nonrenwable resource?
I think so... Pennies are made out of copper with some zinc (?) on the inside. Since copper is a metal I would assume that we have a limited amount of it here on Earth. Although, I highly doubt we are going to run out of it any time soon!
What inside the earth?
The inside of the earth is made of metal. Above that is a liquid layer and above that is the earth's crust, which is made of rocks and soil.

How do scientist know the inside of the earth is made of layers?
each layer in earth has diffrent material that is cuse diffrent propertis. natural or man made Wave when it come from inside of the earth show difftent propertis .this is main reason of layering earth .

Where are diamonds made?
Deep inside the earth, where there is intense heat and pressure.
Is earth made of mostly rocks or gas?
The earth is made of mostly rock because the crust is rock and the inside such as the core is molten rock such as lava.
Why is there an unequal distribution of heat within the earth?
The heat from inside Earth gets dissipated into space on the surface, so you would expect the surface to be colder than the inside, which is farther from the surface.Also, there are differences in heat transport inside Earth, simply because different parts of the Earth are made up of different materials.
What color are most igneous rocks made from magma from deep inside earth?
Green to black.
You are inside the Earth or on the Earth?

What resources are older than Earth?
The materials that formed the Earth are in fact OLDER than the Earth, because they were around BEFORE the Earth was formed. The Elements that you are made of were formed inside STARS before the Earth ever existed.
