Layers of the earth
here, we mainly talk about the inner layer of the earth.
The earth is made up of four layers. they are:
1. Crust
2. Mantle
3. Outer core
4. Inner core
Let's talk in brief about the four layers of the earth.

1. Crust
It is the outermost layer of the earth. In simple way, It is the layer of the earth in which we live-means we do our daily activities on the crust.
Earth crust is composed of igneous, Metamorphic, sedimentary rocks. crust occupy less than 1% of total volume of the earth. The layer of crust is 30km to 50km. It is obivious that as we go deeper temperature increases, the temperature at which earth crust lie is from 500 to 1000 degree celcius  i.e. 900 to 1,800 degree Fahrenheit.

Question may arise in your mind. Does crust and plates are the same?
Definitely not, crust and mantle are the two different factors. There are two different types of Crust, namely-oceanic and continental but there are 16 tectonic plates on the earth. the earthquake occur when there are disarrangement between the plates.

2. Mantle
Mantle is the solid bulk lies between crust and outer-core of the  earth. The thickness of the mantle is 2,900 km(1,802 miles). Mantle occupy 84% of total volume of the earth. The temperature of mantle ranges from approximately

3. outer core
Outer core is the liquid layer which lies between mantle and inner core. outer core is 2,400 km(1,500 miles) thick and the temperature of this layer ranges from 4,400 to 6,100 km. Iron and Nickel are the main substance found in this layer. 

4. Inner core
It is the innermost part of the earth whose radius is about 1,200 km(760 miles). it is composed of Iron, Nickel and other elements. The temperature is inner core is estimated 6,000 degree celcius. The radius of inner core is about 70% of radius of the moon.
