1. ROCKS. A rock is a mass of hard consolidated mineral matter.

The structure of our planet:
  • The outer layer (brown) is called crust. It's solid and made up of rocks similar to those we see on the Earth surface.
  • The orange layer is called mantle. It's solid and made up of dense rocks.
  • The red layer is the external core. It's liquid.
  • The grey one is the internal core. It's solid again and very rich in iron.
