The top layer is the crust, the crust is made up of two parts, the continental crust and the oceanic crust.
Then comes the mantle, the mantle is the biggest of the Earths layers. The mantle like the crust is divided into two parts, the inner mantle and the outer mantle.The outer mantle is thinner than the inner mantle, it can be as found 7 miles to 190 miles below the earths surface. The inner mantle can be found 190 miles through 1,800 below the earths surface. The average tempature on the mantle is 5,400 º F.
After the mantle is the Outer core, the outer core may seem like it wouldn't be its own layer but it is. The outer core is 1,800 - 3.200 below the earths surface which means that it is very hoooottttttt, the average tempature is about 8,000 º F. The outer core is liquid and mainly made up of iron.
They layer farthest away from the surface of the Earth is the inner core, the inner core consists of minerals and many other elements that make up our world. The inner core is almost 10,000 ºF on average.
Similarities | Differences |
The skin of the pear is like the crust of the earth because both are the outmost layer and the thinest. | The pear is not a good representation of the earth because it is not a sphere. |
The pulp of the pear is like the earth's mantle because it is the largest layer. | In comparison the earth's mantle is not as large as the pulp of the pear. |
The seeds of the pear are like the outer core or third layer. | A pear has multiple seeds that are not connected, but the earth has a single outer core layer. |
This is my Earth analogy, now I will make a chart and have strengths and weaknesses.
