Earth's Physical Layers:
1. Crust: The outermost layer of the Earth, consisting of solid rock that varies in thickness.
2. Mantle: The layer beneath the crust, composed of semi-solid rock that is able to flow slowly over long periods of time.
3. Outer core: The layer beneath the mantle, made up of liquid iron and nickel.
4. Inner core: The innermost layer of the Earth, consisting of solid iron and nickel.
Earth's Compositional Layers:
1. Lithosphere: The rigid outer layer of the Earth, including the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.
2. Asthenosphere: The semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere where the soft rock can flow slowly under the influence of heat and pressure.
3. Mesosphere: The strong, lower part of the mantle, extending from the bottom of the asthenosphere to the core-mantle boundary.
4. Outer core: The layer beneath the mesosphere, composed of liquid iron and nickel.
5. Inner core: The innermost layer of the Earth, consisting of solid iron and nickel.
