UPPER MANTLE

- Lithosphere (Sial and Sima)

- Asthenosphere (Molten Rock River)

- Mesosphere

LOWER MANTLE

OUTER CORE (Liquid Iron and Nickel)

INNER CORE (Solid Iron Compounds)

When you learn the layers of the Earth there really isn't a lot to explain. It's one of those memorization things. You might be wondering how all the layers came to be. When the Earth was forming billions of years ago, the matter came together. The densest matter moved to the center of the planet. The lighter rocks remained on the surface. When everything was done, the mantle wound up being about 2/3 the mass of the planet.

Answer:

<u>Inversion is found in upper layer sf troposphere.</u>

Explanation:

When there is a decrease temperature t every 3.5 degrees for every 100 feet. As when this normal cycle is present the air said to be unstable and constantly flows between the warm and cold areas.

During inversion temperature decrease with the increasing altitudes. temperature inversion can occur in areas of coastal origins due to the upwelling of cold waters.

Topography plays a role as cold and cool air flows from the mountain peaks down into valleys. This cold air then is pushed back due to the warm and lighter air mass and hence creating an invention.
