Generation

## Structure of Earth's Interior Earth consists of four main layers: 1. **Crust** - The thin, solid outer shell (5-70 km thick) 2. **Mantle** - A thick layer of hot, solid rock (~2,900 km thick) that flows very slowly over geological time 3. **Outer Core** - Liquid iron and nickel (~2,300 km thick) 4. **Inner Core** - Solid iron and nickel ball (~1,200 km radius) ## Common Misconception **"The mantle is liquid molten rock"** Many people imagine the mantle as a sea of liquid magma, but it's actually **solid rock**. While extremely hot (up to 4,000°C), the intense pressure keeps it solid. The mantle behaves like a very viscous, slowly flowing solid—similar to how glaciers flow despite being ice. True liquid magma only exists in small pockets and is typically generated when mantle rock partially melts under specific conditions.
