- The Core is the inner part of the Earth. (15%)
- The Mantle is the layer that is between the core and the crust. (84%)

OUTER CORE AND INNER CORE.
THE CRUST IS THE THIN OUTER LAYER OF THE EARTH. IT´S THE
SOLID ROCK LAYER THAT WE LIVE ON. THE EARTH´S CRUST IS EITHER CONTINENTAL OR
OCEANIC.

IS MOSTLY MADE UP OF MAGMA. MAGMA IS A SEMI-MOLTEN ROCK.

The Prime Meridian is an imaginary line on a map of Earth. It is the starting point for the measuring system called longitude. Longitude is a system of imaginary north-south lines called meridians.
The Earth is a spinning sphere, or ball. The center of the spin is a line called the Earth’s axis. The axis meets the Earth’s surface at two points – the North Pole and the South Pole. Each meridian runs between the North Pole and the South Pole.
Meridians are used to measure distance in degrees east or west from the prime meridian. The prime meridian is 0° longitude.
The 180th meridian is the line of longitude that is exactly opposite the prime meridian. It is 180° longitude.
Lines of longitude east of the prime meridian are numbered from 1 to 179 east (E). Lines of longitude west of the prime meridian are numbered from 1 to 179 west (W).
Other lines on a globe are called lines of latitude. They are used to describe positions north or south of the Equator.
The Equator is half way between the North Pole and the South Pole. Lines of latitude circle the Earth parallel to the Equator. For this reason they are also called parallels. The distance between each parallel is also measured in degrees.
Together, the lines of latitude and longitude can describe the location of any place on Earth. For example, the city of Paris, France is located at 48.8566 degrees North and 2.3522 degrees East.
Sydney Harbor in Australia is 33.8523 degrees South and 151.2108 degrees East.
