The layers of Earth diagram. Trevor Nace Layers Of Earth 1. Crust. Earth's crust is what we walk on every day. It is the thin (relatively) outermost layer that wraps around the Earth and ranges in ...

Known as stratigraphic inversion, this discovery challenges our fundamental understanding of how Earth’s layers are formed. A ...

Troposphere: This is the lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere. The bottom of the troposphere is at Earth’s surface, and it extends up about 6.2 miles (or 33,000 feet).

The mantle is the layer of the earth that lies below the crust and is by far the largest layer making up 84% of Earth's volume. The mantle starts at the Mohorovicic Discontinuity , also known as ...

The Earth's interior is composed of four layers, three solid and one liquid—not magma but molten metal, nearly as hot as the surface of the sun. The deepest layer is a solid iron ball, about ...

Astronauts in low-Earth orbit see 16 sunrises andsunsets every day due to their high orbital velocity (more than 17,000 mph, or28,000 kph). Images:Earth From Above Top 10Views of Earth From Space ...

The outer layer, comprised of liquid iron alloy, is about 1,355 miles thick. The outer core is also thought to be responsible for Earth's magnetic field. In contrast, the inner core is made up of ...

April 14, 2005 -- A University of Liverpool scientist has discovered a new layer near the Earth's core, which will enable the internal temperature of the Earth's mantle to be measured at a much ...

Scientists have discovered a previously unknown layer of Earth. The newly discovered region of molten rock sits 100 miles below the crust and covers at least 44 percent of the planet.
