The Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the sixth largest planet in the solar system. It is not a perfect sphere, with its equator being over 27km wider than its polar diameter. The Earth has a molten iron core at its center surrounded by a viscous mantle and rigid outer crust. Beneath the crust are convection currents in the mantle that cause the movement of tectonic plates, resulting in earthquakes at their boundaries and new volcanic land at their divergent edges.
