Chapter 20: The Layered Interior

The Earth and its Layers in an Avocado


The Earth is comprised of multiple layers and the avocado featured in the picture is intended to illustrate the concept of its layered interior. The pit of the fruit correlates with the solid inner core, the next layer as the liquid outer core, the upper mantle being the green flesh and the Earth's crust represented as the green rough outer layer and covering of the avocado.
