Question

identify the earths layers

name: crust
depth: 5 - 70km
state of matter: solid
name: mantle
depth:
state of matter:
name: outer core
depth:
state of matter:
name: inner core
depth:
state of matter:

Explanation:

The Earth's interior layers include the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The mantle is beneath the crust. Its depth ranges from about 35 - 2900 km. The upper part of the mantle is semi - solid (asthenosphere), and the lower part is solid. The outer core is below the mantle, with a depth from 2900 - 5150 km, and it is in a liquid state (composed mainly of iron and nickel). The inner core is at the center of the Earth, with a depth from 5150 - 6371 km, and it is solid due to extremely high pressure.

Answer:

• Mantle:
• Depth: \(35 - 2900\ \text{km}\)
• State of Matter: Upper part - semi - solid (asthenosphere), lower part - solid
• Outer core:
• Depth: \(2900 - 5150\ \text{km}\)
• State of Matter: Liquid
• Inner core:
• Depth: \(5150 - 6371\ \text{km}\)
• State of Matter: Solid
