Mechanical Layers of the Earth

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

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

Earth's inner core is

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

Which layer of the earth is a pure liquid?

• crust
• mantle
• outer core
• inner core

The crust and the uppermost mantle make up the solid layer of hard rock called the

• inner core
• asthenosphere
• lithosphere
• outer core

How does temperature change as you move from the crust to the core?

• it gets cooler
• it gets hotter
• it stays the same
• the core is frozen
