The is the rocky and metallic part of the . It is one of the characteristics that supports life on the planet . Earth began as a very hot ball of molten material . When it began to cool , the denser materials , like iron , were pulled towards the centre of the Earth by gravity . A similar process occurred with the other materials . They were deposited in layers . The heaviest materials were deposited nearer the centre . The lightest materials were deposited in the outer part . This is how the three layers of the geosphere were formed . The and the formed on top of the outer layers of the geosphere .

This is the layer below the crust . It is 2 , 900 km deep and is the widest layer . It is mainly composed of rocks . It is a solid but plastic layer . Its temperature ranges between 1 , 000 °C and 3 , 000 °C .

This is the inner layer of the geosphere . It is mainly composed of . It also contains small quantities of nickel and sulphur . It has two parts : . This is the only layer in a liquid state .
