The Earth is divided into three main layers. The dense, hot inner core (yellow), the molten outer core (orange), the mantle (red), and the thin crust (brown), which supports all life in the known universe. ... Beneath the Moho is the mantle, the viscous layer that makes up more than half of Earth's volume
Crust : (a) Depth 35-50 km below continents and 6-12 km. below the oceans. (b) Temperature — Less than 870°C (c) Density — 2.7 g/Cm3 – 5.5 g/Cm3.
Mantle : (a) Depth — 50 – 2900 km. (b) Temperature — 1500° C – 2200°C (c) Density — 3 g/Cm3 – 4.5 g/Cm3 Core : (a) Depth — 2900 km – 3500 km (b) Temperature — 2200°C – 5000°C
(c) Density — 10.0 g/Cm3 – 13.6 g/CmRead more on Sarthaks.com - https://www.sarthaks.com/149401/explain-layers-the-interior-the-earth-with-reference-following-depth-temperature-density
