Question

this diagram is a model of earths layers. use the words below to label the layers. outer core lithosphere inner core asthenosphere continental crust

Explanation:

1. The outermost labeled layer is the thin, rocky top layer, which matches the continental crust.
2. The next layer down includes the crust and upper mantle, forming the rigid lithosphere.
3. Below the lithosphere is the ductile, flowing layer of the upper mantle, the asthenosphere.
4. The innermost, solid center layer is the inner core.
5. The layer surrounding the inner core is the liquid outer core.

Answer:

• Topmost label: continental crust
• Second label: lithosphere
• Third label: asthenosphere
• Innermost label: inner core
• Layer surrounding inner core: outer core
