Generation

Earth's interior consists of four main layers: the crust (thin outer layer, 5-70 km thick), the mantle (thick layer of hot, dense rock extending to ~2,900 km depth), the outer core (liquid iron-nickel layer from 2,900-5,150 km), and the inner core (solid iron-nickel center from 5,150-6,371 km). These layers are differentiated by density, with denser materials sinking toward the center during Earth's formation. A key formula is the **seismic wave velocity equation**: v = √(K/ρ) for P-waves, where v is velocity, K is the bulk modulus (rigidity), and ρ is density—this relationship allows scientists to infer interior structure from earthquake waves. Temperature and pressure both increase with depth, reaching approximately 5,000-6,000°C at Earth's center.
