Which sentence about earth's outer layer is true?

• When the plates of the outer layer move, there are places were the mantle is exposed to the air and water at the surface.

• Although the plates of the outer layer move, the mantle is always above the outer layer and is closer to the air and water at the surface.

• The outer layer is always made up of hard solid rock. The mantle is always below the outer layer, and is not exposed to the surface.

• The outer layer is sometimes made of hard solid rock, and sometimes made of soft solid rock. It depends on how much magma is rising up from the mantle.

A team of geologists wants to study hard, solid rock under the surface of Earth. The team is considering drilling down in Saudi Arabia (1) or in the Arabian Sea (2). Where will the geologists find hard, solid rock?

• neither under 1 nor 2, because there is sand and gravel under both places

• neither under 1 nor 2, because there is water under both places

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

• only under 1, because Earth’s outer layer is made of hard, solid rock under continents but not under the ocean
