Question

5. Describe the properties of each of these parts of the Earth’s interior: lithosphere, mantle, and core. What are they made of? How hot are they? What are their physical properties?

Answer 1

Hey there!

Okay so, the Lithosphere is made out of Earth’s outermost layer, which is composed of rocks in the crust and the upper mantle that behave as brittle solids.

The Mantle is made up of rock containing silicon, iron, magnesium, aluminum, oxygen and other minerals.

The Core has two parts. The solid inner core made up of iron. The outer core is surrounded by a liquid composed of a nickel-iron alloy.

I hope this helps!
