Answer:

b. inner core

Explanation:

To solve this problem let's start by listing the information given. This will help us find which option best fits the characteristics provided to find the correct answer.

characteristics of mystery layer:

i. it is solid and extremely hot

ii. it is the innermost layer of the Earth

iii. it is around 800 miles thick

Now let's go through each option to determine which best matches the characteristics.

option a

outer core

The first characteristic of the mystery layer is 'it is solid and extremely hot.' The outer core of the earth, however, is a fluid layer. Therefore, this option cannot be correct.

option b

inner core

The inner core is a solid 'ball' and is about 10,800°F. It is also the inner, or last layer, of the earth and is around 800 miles thick. Therefore, it matches all characteristics of the mystery layer so, this must be the correct answer. If you would like to be sure, I also reviewed the last two options below.

option c

crust

Because the crust is the outermost layer of the planet, it does not match the second characteristic of the mystery layer. Therefore, this cannot be the correct answer to the question.

option d

mantle

Although the mantle does match the first characteristic, it does not match the second characteristic, which requires the layer to be the innermost layer of the earth. The mantle is one of the outer layers of the earth.

Now that all options are reviewed, we have determined the best solution to the problem. The correct answer to this question is b. inner core.

Earth's water is _____. mostly in lakes and rivers unequally distributed mostly found in dry climates easily accessible to peopl

olasank [31]

The correct answer is - unequally distributed.

The water on the planet is not distributed equally. Be it the salt water or the fresh water, there's big differences from place to place.

The salt water for example, is much more abundant on the Southern Hemisphere, while it is much less found on the Northern Hemisphere.

The freshwater though, has much bigger differences on much smaller spaces. While places like the northern half of South America or most of Europe are abundant with water, there's places do not have it at all, like the Arabian Peninsula. The Arabian Peninsula actually doesn't have a single stream or river that have a constant flow, while on the other hand, you have a very small country like Macedonia that has over 2,000 streams and rivers on just above 25,000 km².
