Generation

Earth's interior consists of four main layers that differ in composition and physical properties. The outermost **crust** is a thin, solid rocky shell where we live, followed by the **mantle**, a thick layer of hot, dense rock that flows very slowly over geological time. Beneath that lies the **outer core**, made of liquid iron and nickel that generates Earth's magnetic field through its motion, and finally the **inner core**, a solid ball of iron and nickel at the center, kept solid despite extreme heat due to immense pressure. These layers were discovered by studying how earthquake waves travel through the planet at different speeds depending on the material they pass through.
