It is consist of three major layers
core, mantle, and crust
Inner Core
about 750 miles thick and made up primarily of iron
Mantle
accounts the big volume of the earth
Mantle
covers the core and lies beneath the crust
Outermost Mantle
is cool, strong, and hard
Innermost mantle
is hot, rock is not stable, soft, plastic, and flows slowly
Crust
outermost layer
Crust
a thin veneer below a layer is soil and beneath the ocean water
Crust
composed almost entirely of solid rock
Hydrosphere
It is the liquid water component of the earth which circulates among oceans, continents, glaciers, and the atmosphere
Ocean
makes up 71% of Earth
Glaciers
cover about 10% of Earths land surface today
Atmosphere
mixture of nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), and other gases (1%) that surrounds Earth
Atmosphere
It supports life by regulating climate by acting as a blanket and filter, retaining heat at night and shielding us from direct solar radiation during the day
