<span>There is a starting mass of 36g of Potassium-40. After 1.3 billion years, there would be 18g of Argon-40. After 2.6 billion years, half of the remaining Potassium-40 would have decayed, leaving 9g of Potassium-40 and giving us 27g of Argon-40. Following this pattern, we see that three half-lives, or 3.9 billion years, have passed. The age of the rock sample is 3.9 billion years.</span>

Which of these best describes the relationship between the inner core, outer core, mantle, crust, asthenosphere, and lithosphere
torisob [31]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Which of these best describes the relationship between the inner core, outer core, mantle, crust, asthenosphere, and lithosphere?

A: The coolest layers are farthest from the core.

B: The least dense layers are closest to the core.

C: The layers with the highest concentration of metals are closest to the crust.

D: The layers that remain in a molten state are closest to the crust.

Answer:

The coolest layers are farthest from the core.

Explanation:

When we talk about the internal structure of Earth, we mean the subdivisions of the solid Earth, that is, the concentric spherical layers that marks out the structure of the solid Earth.

The inner core is the innermost part of the earth's core and is known to have extremely high temperature. This high temperature steadily decreases as you approach the earth's surface.

Hence, the coolest layers are farthest from the core.
