What is the correct order (starting from the surface) of Earth's layers?

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

Earth's inner core is...

• a dense ball of solid iron and nickel.
• a layer of molten iron and nickel.
• a layer of hot rock.
• a layer of rock that forms Earth's outer skin.

Scientists think that convection currents flow in Earth's

• continents
• mantle
• lithosphere
• inner core.

Which layer of Earth is LIQUID?

• upper mantle
• lower mantle
• outer core
• inner core

Which layer of Earth is the thinnest?

• crust
• mantle
• outer core
• inner core
