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.
