The center of the earth is called "the inner core". It is surrounded by the "outer core". This, in turn, is surrounded by the mantle which lies beneath the crust - the outer shell of the earth where we live.
The inner core is believed to be solid alloy of nickel and iron. The outer core is believed to be a liquid mixture composed mostly of iron and nickel.
The mantle may be divided into the Lower mantle and the Asthenosphere. The lower mantle is kept solid due to the high pressures it is subject to even though it is at temperatures that would lead to it melting at lower pressures. The upper mantle or Asthenosphere is a region of very hot, highly compressed, very viscous but still plastic material. It deforms very slowly under stress or shear conditions but it does deform and flow. Magma (lava) forms mostly near the boundary between the Asthenosphere and the crust.
