The Earth and its layers | Educational Video for Kids

What are you waiting for? The Earth and it´s layers Observe these images…the earth, our planet is blue when looking at it from space because it is mostly made up of water, but we can also identify brown and green patches of land as well as white clouds floating in the sky. This is because of the materials which make up the Earth, is distributed in layers; the lightest layer, such as gases, occupy the exterior layer and the heavier ones, like rocks, are in the interior. Our Earth is divided into three different spheres; the geosphere, the hydrosphere and the atmosphere. The geosphere is the most solid part of the Earth and is divided into three separate layers; the core, the mantle and the crust. The core is the Earth´s center. It is made up of metals and its temperature is extremely high. The mantle is the geosphere´s thickest layer. The temperature in the mantle is also very high, so high that some of the rocks found there even…melt! The crust is the external layer. It is composed of rocks and it is where the continents are formed, as well as islands and also the seabed. So in a sense it is the ground we walk on. The hydrosphere is the combination of all the water that exists on Earth and it makes up three quarters of the ground´s surface. Hydro means water…but water as we all know can be either as a liquid, solid or gas meaning it is distributed in various different ways throughout our planet. The liquid form of water is found in rivers, lakes, oceans and seas as well...
