Asthenosphere - ansA layer of the upper mantle that flows due to heat currents moving through solid rock.
Core - ansthe iron and nickel center of the Earth
Crust - ansthe thin, rocky, outer layer of the Earth that forms the Earths outer skin.
Inner Core - ansa dense ball of solid metal that is the hottest and densest layer of the Earth
lithosphere - ansthe rigid uppermost part of the mantle that makes us the plates that move along the surface.
Mantle - ansThe layer of hot, solid, material between the Earth's core and crust and takes up most of the
earth's volume
Outer Core - ansthe liquid layer made up of hot liquid iron and nickel that surrounds the inner core
