WOW! Volcanoes and Earthquakes

We have been looking at the wanders of the centre of our planet.. We have learned that the planet Earth is made up of many layers, running thousands of miles below the Earth's crust.  Can you remember the names of the layers below us?
We watched the following link about Volcanoes today - it was amazing!

Perhaps you could do some research to find out the answer...
