Question

(03.02 mc)
the table below shows the density of the crust, the mantle, and the outer and inner core of earth arranged randomly:
what is most likely layer x?

Explanation:

The density of Earth's layers is related to their composition and position. The crust has the lowest density (around \(2.7 - 3.0\ g/cm^{3}\)), the mantle has a density of about \(3.3 - 5.7\ g/cm^{3}\), the outer core has a density of approximately \(9.9 - 12.2\ g/cm^{3}\), and the inner core has the highest density (around \(12.6 - 13.0\ g/cm^{3}\)). Layer \(X\) has a density of \(13\ g/cm^{3}\), which matches the density range of the inner core.

Answer:

Inner core
