=Structural Zones of Earth=

The Earth has structural layers as well as compositional ones, I hope this wiki will help your understanding.
==Lithosphere: this is the layer which includes the tectonic plates, it is thin compared to the other layers and has a lot of seismic activity as well as deformations of its crust, it is the shell of the Earth and includes the crust and the upper mantle.==

(100 kilometers )
==Asthenosphere: This layer is under the lithosphere which is the layer that the tectonis plates float on, it is very plastic like and is liquid and also its movement causes the lithosphere to move. (100 - 200 kilometers)==

Mesosphere: This layer is the thickest and is solid rock and is not turned into liquid because of pressure but still moves in convection cells. (2500 kilometers)
==Outer Core: This is a liquid core and is molten magma which causes the other layers to move in convection cells because of its flowing in a circular motion causing the tectonic plates to move. (2200 kilometers)==

Inner Core: This layer is solid iron and nickel it is solid eventhough its the hottest layer because of the immense pressure and compression and gravity.
