  • Earth's Outer Core: Location and Layers Explained
    The outer core is located between the Earth's mantle and its inner core.

    Here's a more detailed breakdown:

    * Above the outer core: The mantle, a thick layer of mostly solid rock.

    * Below the outer core: The inner core, a solid ball of iron and nickel.

    Think of it like an onion with layers:

    1. Crust: The outermost, thin, rocky layer.

    2. Mantle: The thickest layer, mostly solid rock.

    3. Outer Core: A liquid layer of iron and nickel.

    4. Inner Core: A solid ball of iron and nickel.
