Earths structure
Earths structure. Cutaway computer illustration of the internal structure of the Earth. The inner Earth is divided into several distinct layers. The top layer, the crust that forms the land and underlies the seas. Below around 4 kilometres down (at 110 degrees Celsius), no more life is found. The next layer is the upper mantle, on which the crust floats. Two more mantle layers are found below this, consisting of molten rock between 1500 and 3000 degrees Celsius. Around half way to the centre of the Earth is the outer core (inside brown shell) of liquid iron and nickel, overlying the solid inner core of mainly iron

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable cutaway computer illustration of Earth's structure, providing us with a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate layers that compose our planet. The inner Earth is ingeniously divided into several distinct layers, each playing a crucial role in shaping our world as we know it. At the top lies the crust, forming both the land and underlying seas. As we delve deeper, approximately 4 kilometers down at scorching temperatures of 110 degrees Celsius, life ceases to exist. Moving further inward, we encounter the upper mantle which serves as a floating platform for the crust above. Two additional mantle layers follow beneath this one, consisting of molten rock raging between an astonishing temperature range of 1500 to 3000 degrees Celsius. As we venture halfway towards Earth's core, an awe-inspiring sight awaits us - the outer core depicted by its brown shell-like appearance. This outer core is composed of liquid iron and nickel while enshrouding the solid inner core predominantly made up of iron. Through this extraordinary artwork captured by Science Photo Library, we gain invaluable insights into geology and Earth's interior structure. It reminds us of how interconnected and delicate our planet truly is; every layer working harmoniously to sustain life on its surface. Let this image ignite curiosity within you about our wondrous home and inspire further exploration into understanding its mysteries beyond what meets the eye.
