The document discusses the structure and composition of the Earth's interior. It is comprised of three main layers - the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the outermost solid layer, ranging from 5-75 km thick. It is composed of igneous and sedimentary rocks. The mantle is the thickest layer, consisting of hot dense rocks and accounting for about two-thirds of the Earth's mass. Below is the core, divided into the solid inner core and liquid outer core primarily made of iron and nickel. The crust forms at the boundaries between shifting tectonic plates as new magma rises and hardens upon reaching the surface and oceans.
