ppefmhEdGarstin8/18The diagram below shows the internal structure of the Earth.
  • Inner core
  • Mantle
  • Crust
  • Outer core
  • Solid with a maximum depth of 50 km
  • Solid but can flow at the very upper region
  • This is solid
  • This is liquid

  • Scientists cannot directly observe the Earth's interior. This is because the Earth's crust has a maximum depth of 50 km but the deepest mines only go to a depth of a few kilometres into the crust.
  • Scientists cannot directly observe the Earth's interior. This is because the Earth's crust has a maximum depth of 5 km but the deepest mines only go to a depth of a few kilometres into the crust.
  • Scientists cannot directly observe the Earth's because the interior is too hot. This is because the Earth's crust has a maximum heat of 50 kelvin.
