Explanation:

Interior of the Earth:

The earth is made up of several concentric layers with one inside another, just like an onion.

Crust:

  • The uppermost layer on the earth’s surface is called the crust.
  • It is the thinnest of all the layers.
  • It is about 35 km, thick on the continental masses and only 5 km thick on the ocean floors.
  • Main minerals constituent of the continental mass are silica and alumina.
  • It is thus called sial (si – silica and al – alumina).
  • The oceanic crust mainly consists of silica and magnesium.
  • It is therefore called sima (si – silica and ma – magnesium)

    Mantle

  • Just beneath the crust is the mantle.
  • It extends up to a depth of 2900 km below the crust.

     Core

  • The innermost layer is the core with a radius of about 3500 km.
  • It is mainly made up of nickel and iron.
  • Hence it is called nife (ni—nickel and fe—ferrous i.e., iron).
  • The central core has very high temperature and pressure.
