  • Earth's Crust: Composition, Structure & Key Features
    The layer of Earth made of solid rock is the crust.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Crust: This is the outermost layer, relatively thin compared to the other layers. It's made of solid rock, primarily basalt and granite.

    * Mantle: This layer lies beneath the crust and is mostly solid, but it behaves like a very viscous fluid over long periods.

    * Outer Core: This layer is liquid, primarily composed of iron and nickel.

    * Inner Core: This is the innermost layer, and it's solid despite the intense heat due to immense pressure.
