Do you know why a soda bottle fizzes and pops when you open it? Because it has a lot of pressure inside it. And so does the Earth!

When our planet was first formed, it was a huge ball of hot thick liquid (like the lava) that slowly cooled down over millions of years forming several layers. But the centre of it still remains molten – liquid, but more like playdough – because of the nuclear reactions that continue to take place.

Natural phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are a result of the pressure inside Earth and the interaction between the different layers.

Below is a representation of the different layers of Earth and how they are stacked. Can you guess the names of the each layer and drag and drop into the correct boxes?
