The pressure goes up when you go deeper into the earth!

| That was awesome! Can we explore more layers? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Of course! Let's take a trip to the Mantle! It's the largest layer and it's located right under the crust. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
Mantel Composition: Silicon, Oxygen, Iron and Magnesium
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| This is the mantle! It is split into 3 parts: Lithosphere: Solid Asthenosphere: “plastic†(can flow) Inner Mantle: Solid | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Woah! That's a lot of layers! | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
It may be a hot layer, but not the hottest.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Be careful, it's a bit hotter and has a bit more pressure! In fact, it's 870-2,200ºC! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Ow! My hand! You're right. From now on I'll be more careful. | |
