Question

Which two layers of the earth are made of rock

Answer 1

The earth is made up of three different layers: the crust, the mantle and the core. This is the outside layer of the earth and is made of solid rock, mostly basalt and granite. There are two types of crust; oceanic and continental.

Answer 2

The Lithosphere is a zone of stiff, brittle rock formed by the crust and the top layer of the mantle.

The crust, mantle, and core are the three layers of the Earth. Solid rocks and minerals make up the crust. The mantle, which is largely solid rocks and minerals but interrupted by pliable patches of semi-solid magma, lies under the crust.

The stiff, outermost shell of a terrestrial-type planet or natural satellite is called a lithosphere. It is made up of the crust and a section of the upper mantle that acts elastically over thousands of years or longer on Earth. On the basis of chemistry and minerals, the crust and upper mantle are differentiated.
