The layers of the earth are crust, mantle, outer core, and the inner core. The crust is what we live on and walk on. The mantle is like a peanut butter sandwich because it has two layers of solid rock which is like the two pieces of bread, and it has a layer of heated rock flowing between them which is like the peanut butter. It makes up 85% of the Earth's weight. The outer core is 3,000 miles beneath the crust. The inner core is very hot, somewhere between 9,000 and 13,000 degrees Farenheit. It is a solid ball of iron and other minerals. It was pretty neat to see all the layers of the earth.
