What is the outermost layer of the Earth called?

The outermost layer of the Earth is called the crust.

Which layer is responsible for plate tectonics and earthquakes?

The lithosphere is the layer responsible for plate tectonics and earthquakes. The lithosphere is the outermost layer of Earth's surface that is broken up into several large and small tectonic plates that constantly move and interact with each other, leading to the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and other geological events.

Which layer is primarily composed of solid iron and nickel?

The layer that is primarily composed of solid iron and nickel is the inner core of the Earth. This layer is the deepest part of the Earth, located beneath the outer core and mantle, and is believed to be solid due to high pressure despite its extremely high temperatures.

What is the name of the layer above the outer core?

The layer above the outer core is called the lower mantle.

Which layer is the thickest, making up about 84% of the Earth's volume?

The mantle is the thickest layer, making up about 84% of the Earth's volume.

Which layer is the Earth's crust made of?

The Earth's crust is made of the lithosphere, which is the outermost solid layer of the Earth.

What is the name of the region located between the Earth's crust and mantle?

The region located between the Earth's crust and mantle is called the Mohorovičić discontinuity, commonly referred to as the Moho.

Which layer is responsible for convection currents and heat transfer in the Earth's interior?

The mantle layer is primarily responsible for convection currents and heat transfer in the Earth's interior. Heat from the core drives the movement of molten rock within the mantle, creating convection currents that play a crucial role in the dynamics of the Earth's crust and surface.

Which layer is the hottest, with temperatures exceeding 6,000 degrees Celsius?

The hottest layer of the Earth is the inner core, where temperatures can exceed 6,000 degrees Celsius.

What is the solid, innermost layer of the Earth called?
