About this document
Structure and Layers of the Earth by Maria Teresa Daynos is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Earth is divided into four main layers: the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust and upper mantle make up the lithosphere, which contains the tectonic plates that move and cause earthquakes. Beneath the lithosphere lies the asthenosphere, a weak, plastic layer of the upper mantle that causes the movement of tectonic plates.
