It looks like you're trying to categorize the layers of the Earth, but there are some inaccuracies in the definitions. Here’s a corrected list with proper definitions for each layer:

  1. Inner Core
    The innermost region of the Earth; composed of solid iron and nickel, extremely hot, and under immense pressure.

  2. Outer Core
    The layer immediately outside the inner core; composed of liquid iron and nickel, responsible for Earth's magnetic field.

  3. Lower Mantle
    The layer located below the upper mantle; composed of solid rock that behaves like a viscous liquid over long periods of time.

  4. Upper Mantle
    The layer above the lower mantle; composed of solid rock and includes the asthenosphere, which is partially molten and allows for tectonic movement.

  5. Crust
    The outermost layer of the Earth; includes both the continental crust (landmasses) and oceanic crust (ocean floors), it is the thinnest layer compared to the mantle and core.
