Slice the planet open and the crust is thinner than the skin on an apple. It floats on a mantle that flows too slowly to watch move, while pressure and temperature climb until the outer core turns liquid and the inner core freezes solid despite even more heat. Seismic waves are how anyone knows the boundaries are there, since no drill has ever reached past the crust.
