Grammar
Active. or passive
The earth is formed of layers.
Can I change this sentence into active?
*Layers form the earth.*The Oxford advanced learner Dictionary says the word form is: " [T,?often passive] to produce sth in a particular way or make it have a particular shape]" So I can't decide whether it is suitable to transform the phrase "formed of" into active verb.

"Layers form the Earth" is grammatically correct English, but the sentence does not work particularly well. The emphasis does not seem right.
