Earth’s surface:
–
–
–
–
Continents
Islands
Sea floor
Everything below the
surface
The Earth’s Geosphere
crust: thin, rocky shell
that includes continents
and sea floor
mantle: thick layer of hot rock
outer core: molten metal,
mostly iron
inner core: solid metal,
mostly iron
The atmosphere, hydrosphere,
biosphere, and geosphere work together
to form one large system called Earth.
