The largest zone of Earth's interior by volume is the

• crust

• mantle

• outer core

• inner core

Oceanic and continental crusts differ in

• composition

• density

• thickness

• all these parameters

The forces generated inside Earth that cause the deformation of rock, as well as vertical and horizontal movement of portions of Earth's crust, are called

• erosional forces

• gravitational forces

• tectonic forces

• all the above
