Radioactive elements decaying within its mass and impacts from debris raining down form space generated intense heat. There was no life during this era. Is called the Hadean era and was formed about 4.5 billion years ago. Hadean comes from the Greek word Hades which means “Hell”. That’s how hot the Earth’s temperature was.

A look at the Inner Earth Studying the earth’s interior can help us to understand earthquakes‚ volcanoes‚ plate tectonics and more about the inner earth’s natural processes. In general the earth’s interior has been sorted by Gravity. Heavier elements like iron tend to sink toward the center or core of the earth. Lighter materials‚ the silicates‚ oxygen compounds and water have risen to become part of the crust. This action has created distinct layers within the earth and is still in process today

the first and upper most layer of the Earth. There is Continental Crust which sits on top of Oceanic Crust. This layer is made frequently from granite rocks and is solid. Continental Crust is approximately 32km. Below the Continental Crust is Oceanic Crust. It is about 8km. This part of the Crust is made from basalt rocks. The Crust is most of lithosphere and is the coolest layer by far. Mantle is like silly putty consistency. It is the largest layer of Earth sitting under the Crust. It is made
