Journey to the Center

Mechanical: Describes how the layers behave and their functions.


Lithosphere: Consists of the crust and uppermost part of the mantle.

Asthenosphere- melted, moldable, flows slowly Allows for the movement of plates above ( Like mud )

Mesosphere- middle Strong lower part of the mantle (Meso = middle)

Inner/Outer Core
Outer - Melted
Inner-Solid
