  • Earth's Rock Layers: Understanding the Crust and Mantle
    The two layers of the Earth made of rock are the crust and the mantle.

    * Crust: The outermost layer, thin and brittle, composed of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.

    * Mantle: The thickest layer, mostly solid but with a semi-molten layer called the asthenosphere, composed of silicate minerals like olivine and pyroxene.
