Imagine the Earth was like a giant soup, hot and liquid all over. Over time, it started to cool down, and heavier ingredients sank while lighter ones floated up. This created different layers inside the Earth, just like how you might separate oil and water in a glass.
Examples
- It's like making a layered cake, the heaviest ingredients sink to the bottom.
- If you shake up a bottle with oil, water, and sand, eventually they settle into layers too.
- When you freeze a soda, ice forms at the top because it’s less dense.
