  • Earth's Layers: What Lies 100km Below the Surface?
    100 km below the Earth's surface is within the upper mantle.

    Here's a breakdown of Earth's layers:

    * Crust: The outermost layer, ranging from 5-70 km thick.

    * Upper Mantle: Extends from the base of the crust to about 410 km depth. This is where the 100 km mark lies.

    * Transition Zone: This zone is between 410 km and 660 km.

    * Lower Mantle: Extends from 660 km to 2,890 km depth.

    * Outer Core: Liquid iron and nickel from 2,890 km to 5,150 km depth.

    * Inner Core: Solid iron and nickel from 5,150 km to the center of the Earth (about 6,371 km depth).
