Layers of earth


Like the sun, stars or planets all in layers, so even this is our earth. If the earth is split, it will be visible outside parts as follows:

  • Earth's crust, which is the outermost skin, thickness between 16 to 40 kilometers. On top of this skin live all living creatures on land, sea and air. In this skin saved all the materials such as gold mining, coal, kerosene and others.
  • Underneath a thick layer of approximately 2280 kilometers. A hard layer, an inner skin. The inner skin is much thicker than the outer skin. If we suppose the earth as a mango, mango meat we eat is in the earth's skin. In this part is wrapping the earth's core.
  • Outer core of the earth, which is 2208 kilometers thick. This core is a liquid core. This can be known from an earthquake wave propagation. Earthquake can not be through the watery part of the earth in the center of the earth.
  • Deepest layers that form the core, thickness 1248 kilometers. It's in very hard circumstances. This is really the core of the earth with a radius of 1248 kilometers or with a diameter of 2496 kilometers.
Temperatures at the Earth's crust under the increasingly rising every 100 feet down, the temperature increased one degree Celsius. It is known from excavations of kerosene. If this was used as a basis to determine how the central temperature of the earth, it will get the number for 290 000 degrees Celsius. Thus the high temperature at the earth's center, not at all unreasonable. It may well be not the same rate of temperature increase with the number increasing in the Earth's crust. Suspicion in the center of the earth temperature is around 5550 degrees Celsius.
