What is the outermost layer of the Earth called?
The outermost layer of the Earth is called the crust.
What is the layer beneath the outermost layer called?
The layer beneath the outermost layer is called the subdermal layer or subcutaneous layer.
Which layer is the thinnest of all Earth's layers?
The Earth's crust is the thinnest layer, ranging from about 5 to 70 kilometers thick beneath the oceans and about 30 to 50 kilometers thick beneath the continents.
What is the thickest layer of the Earth?
The thickest layer of the Earth is the mantle, which extends from the crust to the outer core. It is approximately 2,900 kilometers (1,800 miles) thick and primarily made up of solid rock that moves slowly over time due to convection currents.
What is the layer beneath the Earth's crust called?
The layer beneath the Earth's crust is called the mantle.
Which layer is made up of solid rock and is divided into several tectonic plates?
The layer that is made up of solid rock and is divided into several tectonic plates is the lithosphere.
Which layer is characterized by a semi-fluid, plastic-like consistency?
The asthenosphere is the layer characterized by a semi-fluid, plastic-like consistency that lies beneath the lithosphere and is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates.
What is the layer beneath the Earth's mantle called?
The layer beneath the Earth's mantle is called the outer core.
Which layer is responsible for generating the Earth's magnetic field?
The outer core of the Earth, comprised of molten iron and nickel, is primarily responsible for generating the Earth's magnetic field through a process known as the geodynamo. The rotation of the Earth causes the liquid metals within the outer core to flow, creating electric currents which in turn produce the planet's magnetic field.
What is the innermost layer of the Earth, composed mostly of iron and nickel, called?
The innermost layer of the Earth, composed mostly of iron and nickel, is called the inner core.
