3.1. COMPOSITION

PRÁCTICA DE LABORATORIO Nº 3: Estructura de la geosfera.

The geosphere is made up of rocks, minerals and landforms. As a rocky planet, the Earth’s geosphere is divided into 3 layers. They are, in order of density:

	1. The crust:     a. Continental crust     b. Ocean crust
	2. The mantle:     a. Upper mantle     b. Lower mantle
	3. The core:     a. Outer core     b. Inner core

Remember: the crust is very thin (in proportion to an egg, similar to the shell).
