Earth Structure

Structure of the Earth Facts

We are learning about the structure of the Earth.

I learnt that the Earth is made up of 4 layers. They are:

Facts about each layer:

Crust - 8-40 kms thick solid brittle, water and some dirt and rocks.

Mantle - is made of rock and its the thickest, soft and also squishy
and hot.

Outer Core - 4000-6000C-totally hot liquid rock.

Inner Core - solid Nickel and Iron due to the pressure pushing
down on it from the layers above.

Our group - Annelise, Saphera and Aaidyn P.

First we created a 3D image of the Earth using clay, a small knife and some paint.

We then cut the shape in half to show the different layers. After waiting for it to dry,
we identified each layer by painting them in different colours.

Below are some pictures of our work.
