Answer: The crust of the earth is broken into pieces, like the cracked shell of a hardboiled egg. The mantle of the earth is like the egg white, and the core of the earth lies in the center, like the egg yolk. The earth's brittle crust is broken into pieces that geologists call plates.

The difference is their texture. The outer layer of the earth is more rough, while the egg would be smooth.
