What is Earth's outer layer underneath the surface in the image?

Back

hard solid rock / roca sólida dura

Answer explanation

The Earth's outer layer beneath the surface is primarily composed of hard solid rock, which forms the crust. This distinguishes it from layers containing sand or water, making 'hard solid rock'.

Where will the team find hard, solid rock? Options: only under 2, because Earth’s outer layer is made of hard, solid rock under continents but not under the ocean; under 1 and 2, because Earth’s entire outer layer is made of hard, solid rock; neither under 1 nor 2, because there is water under both places; neither under 1 nor 2, because there is sand and gravel under both places.

Back

under 1 and 2, because Earth’s entire outer layer is made of hard, solid rock

Answer explanation

The hard, solid rock is the Earth's outer layer, the lithosphere, which consists of solid rock beneath continents and oceans.
