Answer:

Explanation:

The Asthenosphere -- drives the movement in the plates

<em>It is a weak and flexible part of the upper mantle of the planet Earth.</em>

<em>It is located below the lithosphere. The depth of it is between 200 and 80 kilometers below the surface. It is usually solid but in some regions it is fluid. The temperature dictates the thickness of the Asthenosphere.</em>

The Core -- the hottest layer of the Earth.

<em>The inner Core of the Earth is a layer that's located in the core of it.  By definition, it is a rock-hard ball that has the radius of 1,220 kilometers, making it 20% of the Earth's radius and 70% of the Moon's radius. The samples are not discovered. It is believed that it has the composition of iron-nickel infusion along with other elements. The temperature is appx. 5430 °C, which is similar to the temperature of the surface of the Sun.</em>

Mesosphere -- contains the lower mantle

<em>By definition, it comes from the Greek word mesos, which means '' middle ''.</em>

<em>It is the third layer of the Earth. It is located above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. The higher the altitude,  the lower the temperature. It ends in the coldest part of the Earth, Mesopause. And it begins at the Stratosphere.</em>

Lithosphere -- contains the tectonic plates

<em>By the definition, it is also a word that came from the Greek language. It comes from the word '' lithos '' which means '' rocky ''.</em>

<em>It is a hard, outer part of the Earth.</em>

<em>On the planet Earth, it is made out of the crust of the upper mantle.  The rocks from the Lithosphere are elastic.</em>

<em>They are two types of Lithosphere -- the oceanic Lithosphere and Continental Lithosphere.</em>

If<br> an object has a volume of 2.5 mL and a mass of 10 g, what is the density of the object?
skad [1K]
We know, density = mass /volume 
Here, m = 10 g
v = 2.5 mL = 2.5 cm³

Substitute their values, 
density = 10/2.5
<span>d = 4 g/cm³
</span>
In short, Your Answer would be <span>4 g/cm³</span>

Hope this helps!
