The document discusses the layers of the Earth's interior. It describes the crust, mantle, and core. The crust consists of two types - thin oceanic crust made of basalt and thicker continental crust made of granite. The mantle lies below the crust and makes up 84% of the Earth's volume. It is divided into the rigid lithosphere above and plastic asthenosphere below. The core is divided into a solid inner core and liquid outer core made of iron and nickel.
