The layers of Earth can be classified by their thickness, composition, and state. Which of Earth’s layers is best described as a molten state of medium density made up of mostly silicon and oxygen?

• Crust

• Outer core

• Mantle

• Inner core

The layers of Earth are the crust, mantle, and core, with the core being divided into inner and outer layers. Which of the following does NOT describe the layers of the solid Earth?

• The core makes up the majority of Earth's volume.

• The mantle is composed of rocks known as silicates.

• The core is made up of dense elements, such as iron and nickel.

• The crust is extremely thin when compared to the core or mantle.

Earth contains distinct layers, including the inner core, outer core, mantle, crust, asthenosphere, and lithosphere. A diagram of Earth's layers is provided. Which letter in the diagram identifies the solid layer of Earth which is made up of mostly magma?

• Layer A

• Layer B

• Layer C

• Layer D

We can distinguish the layers of Earth based on their chemical composition and the state of matter or each, that is, whether it is solid or liquid. A diagram of Earth's layers is provided. Which letter in the diagram identifies the layer of Earth made up of solid nickel and iron?

• Layer A

• Layer B

• Layer C

• Layer D

What effect might tectonic plate movement have on the size of an ocean basin?

• An ocean basin becomes larger when new crust is created at transform boundaries.

• An ocean basin becomes larger when new crust is created at convergent boundaries.

• There is no effect on the size of an ocean basin because it is below sea level.

• There is no effect on the size of an ocean basin because crust is created at divergent boundaries and destroyed at subduction zones.
