What is the correct order of Earth's layer starting from the surface?

• Crust, mantle, outer core, inner core
• outer core, inner core, crust, mantle
• crust, outer core, inner core, mantle
• mantle, outer core, inner core, crust

The mantle "flows" because of large differences in temperature from the bottom to the top, which create convection currents.
