Solution
- Earth’s interior is not uniform and consists of different materials with different physical and chemical properties.
- As it is known that the materials with less density float over the materials with large density, the stratification of the earth’s interior also holds the same.
- The crust is the outermost layer of the earth because it is lighter than the mantle and core.
- The core is the innermost layer and has a density greater than the crust and mantle.
- In the earth's centre, transitional areas exist between continental crust and oceanic crust, crust and mantle, mantle and core, and outer core and inner core. As a result, discontinuities exist within the earth's interior.
