The correct order of the layers of the Earth, starting from the innermost part and moving outward, is as follows:
1. **Inner Core**: The innermost layer, solid and composed mainly of iron and nickel.
2. **Outer Core**: A liquid layer surrounding the inner core, also primarily made of iron and nickel, responsible for Earth's magnetic field.
3. **Mantle**: A thick layer made of semi-solid rock that flows slowly over time, located above the outer core.
4. **Crust**: The thin, solid outer layer of the Earth, which includes both the continental and oceanic crust.
So, the order is: Inner Core → Outer Core → Mantle → Crust.
