<span>The thymus.The thymus plays an important role in the development of T-lymphocytes which is an important type of white blood cell. It reaches maximum development at puberty and then the thymus begins to get atrophied (the shrinking of the thymus with age) and then the thymic stroma is replaced by fat tissue. Loss of thymic function is thought to contribute to weaker immune system of the elderly, increasing instances of diseases such as cancers and other infections.</span>

How did the Earth get these different layers? Did the Earth always have very separate, distinct layers? Describe what happened.
Orlov [11]
Answer: The different layers are a result of lighter parts (such as the continental crust) settling at the surface level and heavier parts (such as iron and nickel in the core) settling in the middle. The layers separate by density, otherwise known as compositional layering. The earth did not always have these layers, as it had to undergo cooling to form some of them (like the continental crust).
