Earth’s Internal Structure: Crust, Mantle, Core Layers Explained #3738077 (License: Personal Use)

This educational diagram depicts Earth’s internal composition in both cross-section and radial views, highlighting the crust (0-100 km thick), mantle (including the ductile asthenosphere and rigid lithosphere), and core divided into a liquid outer core (starting at 2900 km) and solid inner core (beginning at 5100 km). Depth markers (2900 km, 5100 km, 6378 km radius) and state indicators (liquid/solid) clarify physical properties. The illustration is explicitly noted as “not to scale” for clarity.

Used in geoscience education, planetary science articles, and introductory earth science webpages to help learners visualize Earth’s interior structure; matches user intent for understanding tectonics, seismic data interpretation, or core dynamics.
