Question

Match the layer of earth with its characteristics

Answer 1

Answer

Lower Mantle-under high pressure and nearly solid.

Lithosphere-contains the crust

Core-creates the Earth’s magnetic field

Asthenosphere-most deformable layer.

Explanation

The mantle is located below the crust and it occupies the largest volume of the Earth’s volume. The mantle behaves like a plastic and at high pressures and temperatures the rocks in the mantle deform

The lithosphere is the outer shell that contains the crust and upper mantle. The lithosphere is divided into the oceanic layer and the continental layer. It is bounded by the atmosphere and the Asthenosphere.
