A graphic illustrating the different layers of Earth and their theorized textures. The inner core is solid. The outer core flows like honey. The mantle is a softer solid. The Asthenosphere is a putty-like solid. The lithosphere is a crumbling solid.
I've always been fascinated by Earth's interior and how scientists have described their textures. I decided to make my own slice while at @newsela.bsky.social. #geology, #earth, #platetectonics
