      Hi Emilie. The most central part in the inner core, which is solid metal alloy. Then there’s the outer core which is liquid. Then the mantle which is solid, but acts like a liquid – this is the largest part. Then above the mantle is the solid lithosphere. The outermost part that we sit on is the crust.
