label the internal structure of the earth:
inner core
crust/lithosphere
lower mantle
outer core
upper mantle
crust
asthenosphere

Explanation:

To label the internal structure of the Earth, we match each layer to its position in the diagram:

1. Crust: The outermost solid layer (thin, blue - green part on the diagram).
2. Lithosphere: Includes the crust and the rigid upper part of the mantle (near the crust).
3. Asthenosphere: Below the lithosphere, a semi - molten layer in the upper mantle.
4. Upper Mantle: Above the lower mantle, part of the mantle layer.
5. Lower Mantle: Below the upper mantle, a thick, solid - like (due to pressure) layer.
6. Outer Core: Liquid layer surrounding the inner core.
7. Inner Core: The innermost, solid (due to extreme pressure) layer (the red, central sphere).

To label:

• Drag “Crust” to the outermost layer (blue - green part).
• Drag “Lithosphere” to the region including the crust and upper rigid mantle.
• Drag “Asthenosphere” to the layer below the lithosphere (in the upper mantle region).
• Drag “Upper Mantle” to the layer between the asthenosphere and lower mantle.
• Drag “Lower Mantle” to the layer between the upper mantle and outer core.
• Drag “Outer Core” to the layer surrounding the inner core (liquid - looking layer).
• Drag “Inner Core” to the central, red sphere.

(Note: Since this is a drag - and - drop activity, the key is to associate each term with its correct position based on Earth’s internal structure: Crust (outermost), Lithosphere (crust + upper mantle), Asthenosphere (upper mantle, semi - molten), Upper Mantle (above lower mantle), Lower Mantle (below upper mantle), Outer Core (liquid, around inner core), Inner Core (innermost, solid).)
