Earth's Layers & Plate Tectonics

The outermost solid layer of the Earth is called the

• mantle
• outer core
• inner core
• crust

This layer of the Earth is found between the core and the crust.

• mantle
• outer core
• inner core
• crust

Is a layer of weak or soft mantle that is made of rock that flows slowly. Tectonic plates move on top of this layer.

• Inner Core

• Asthensophere

• Lithosphere

• Outer Core

This is the outermost, rigid layer of the Earth, made up of two parts, is divided into pieces call tectonic plates.

• Inner Core
• Asthensophere
• Lithosphere
