What is the most interesting fact about Earth's internal structure?

Campus reveiw
Earth's interior consists of several layers with different physical properties. The crust forms the outer surface, the mantle contains hot rock that deforms slowly, and the core has a liquid outer section and a solid inner section.

These differences help scientists explain processes such as plate movement and the generation of Earth's magnetic field.



For an introductory overview, see The Campus Review's educational guide:

Discussion question: How would you explain the difference between Earth's mantle and its outer core to a student?
