Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Earth’s interior is known mainly through direct digging and drilling.

The crust is the thickest layer of the Earth because it is the outer shell.

The mantle is liquid throughout because it lies below the crust.

Memory Tips

Three main layers of the earth: crust, mantle, core

Wave speed order: P, S, L

P-waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases
