At the center of the Earth lies the core, which is nearly twice as dense as the mantle because its composition is metallic (iron-nickle alloy) rather than stony. Unlike the yolk of an egg, however, the Earth's core is actually made up of two distinct parts: a 2,200-kilometer (1,400-mile) thick liquid outer core and a 1,250-kilometer (775-mile) thick solid inner core.  4, record 1, English, - Earth%27s%20core

In composition, the Earth is made of three nested spheres. At the center of Earth, a body of intensely hot iron and nickel forms the core. A less dense and much larger middle sphere is made of materials rich in iron, magnesium and calcium comprises the mantle. The outermost layer is a thin veneer of lighter rocks called the crust.  5, record 1, English, - Earth%27s%20core

[...] la Terre est constituée d'un cœur métallique, le noyau, d'un rayon de 3 480 kilomètres, entouré d'une couronne d'oxydes (le manteau et la croûte) épaisse de 2 890 kilomètres. Ce cœur est lui-même composé d'une partie liquide épaisse de 2 260 kilomètres, le noyau externe, où est généré le champ magnétique terrestre, et d'une graine solide d'un rayon de 1 215 kilomètres.  5, record 1, French, - noyau%20terrestre
