Question

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

Explanation:

1. The thin topmost blue layer is the outermost solid layer of continental landmasses, so it matches continental crust.
2. The thick layer encompassing the crust and upper mantle section is the rigid outer layer of Earth, so it matches lithosphere.
3. The thick, reddish-brown layer below the lithosphere is the large middle layer of Earth, so it matches mantle.
4. The deeper, warmer orange-red layer is the liquid metallic layer surrounding the inner core, so it matches outer core.

Answer:

• Topmost blue layer: continental crust
• Layer encompassing crust + upper mantle: lithosphere
• Thick reddish-brown layer: mantle
• Deeper orange-red layer: outer core
