Layers of the Earth. The earth is made up of layers (crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core). Each one has a unique make-up to it. Crust. This is the outer layer of the Earth about 10 miles or so thick. Mostly made up of rock and loose material.antle. The next layer beneath the crust is called the mantle. It extends to a depth of approximately 1,800 miles and is made of a thick solid rocky substance that represents about 85% of the total weight and mass of the Earth. The first 50 miles of the mantle are believed to consist of very hard rigid rock.
Background Information The earth is made up of 3 main layers, which are comprised of sub-layers. The outermost layer of the Earth is the crust. It is like the peel of an apple. It is very thin compared to the other layers. The crust is only about 3-5 miles (8 km) thick under the oceans (oceanic crust) and about 25 miles (32 km) thick under the continents (continental crust). The crust is made up of mainly silicate rocks (about 85%). Continental crust is mostly granite while oceanic crust is basalt.
