layer through which S-waves do not travel
layer above the Mohorovicic discontinuity (Moho)
solid iron and nickel are the major elements in this layer
Earth's magnetic field is generated here
the thickness of this layer is approximately 3,000 km
the lithosphere includes the mantle and this layer
although extremely hot, high pressure keeps this layer from melting
convection currents here drive plate tectonics
fossils are found in this layer
this layer includes the asthenosphere
