Planet Earth is a wonder in the vastness of the universe. It's the only known planet where life exists, covered by land and vast oceans. We must care for it and understand its workings. Delving deeper, Earth has layers like a giant chocolate ball. The outermost, the crust, is where we live. Next, the mantle, a hot, flowing layer, and at the center, a metallic core.
