Earth’s Crust and Mantle Layers Diagram | Geology Educational Resource #163930 (License: Personal Use)

The image is a simplified geological cross-section comparing oceanic and continental crust structures above the lithosphere (rigid) and asthenosphere (plastic), marked with depth intervals from sea level down to 180 km. Labels indicate key layers and their physical properties, helping visualize plate tectonics fundamentals. The diagram uses color coding-light gray for crust, brown for lithosphere, and orange for asthenosphere-to enhance clarity.

Used in educational web pages, geology textbooks, or science outreach sites to explain Earth’s internal structure and plate tectonics; matches user intent for visual learning or curriculum support.
