* Crust: The outermost layer, relatively thin (5-70 km thick). There are two types: oceanic (thinner) and continental (thicker).
* Mantle: The thickest layer (2,900 km), made of mostly solid rock, but behaves like a very viscous fluid over long periods.
* Outer Core: A liquid layer (2,200 km thick) composed mostly of iron and nickel.
* Inner Core: A solid ball (1,220 km thick) also primarily made of iron and nickel, incredibly hot and under immense pressure.
So, while the crust is what we stand on, it's just a very thin "skin" compared to the massive layers beneath it.
