Question

which of these best dscribes Earth's mantle? A. most dense layer, consists of the outer and inner parts B. thinnest under the oceans and thickest under continents C. middle layer, density increases with depth as pressure increases D. least dense layer overall, consists of two layers of different thickness

Answer 1

C. middle layer, density increases with depth as pressure increases

Explanation:

The mantle is the middle layer of the earth. It's density increases with depth as pressure increases.

• Based on the compositional division of the earth, our blue planet is divided into crust, mantle and the core.
• The crust is the lightest and the outermost layer of the earth.
• The mantle is the middle layer. Its density lies between that of the core and crust.
• The mantle is the largest layer and density increases with depth here.
• The core is a metallic ball. It is the most dense part of the earth.
