Title: Earth's interior.
Caption: The left side of the globe shows that Earth's interior is divided into three different layers based on compositional differences—the crust, mantle, and core. The right side of the globe shows the five main layers of Earth's interior based on physical properties and mechanical strength—the lithosphere, asthenosphere, lower mantle, outer core, and inner core. The block diagram shows an enlarged view of the upper portion of Earth's interior.
