Three main layers thay make up earth are?
The three main layers of the earth are the Core, Mantle and Crust. The Core is mostly made from iron and nickel, the Crust from oxygen, silicon and aluminum and the mantle silicon,oxygen,iron and magnesium.
What does the crust mantle and the core all have in common?
There are a number of similarities between mantle and crust. They are both found below the surface of they earth and the main components in both are rocks.
How thick is each 8 layer of the Earth?
There are five basic layers of the Earth, being the crust, upper mantle, inner mantle, outer core, and inner core. Of these, the lithosphere is composed of the crust and upper mantle, and the asthenosphere is part of the mantle, below the lithosphere.

What two layers make up the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the rigid outermost shell of a rocky planet. It comprises the crust and the portion of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on time scales of thousands of years or greater.In the Earth, the lithosphere includes the crust and the uppermost mantle, which constitute the hard and the crust.Also, in the Earth, the lithosphere is more in the crust, than in the uppermost mantle.
