Answer:

1.)lithosphere : The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of the Earth, including the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust

2.)asthenosphere : Asthenosphere, the zone of Earth’s mantle lying beneath the lithosphere and believed to be much hotter and more fluid than the lithosphere. The asthenosphere extends from about 100 km (60 miles) to about 700 km (450 miles) below Earth’s surface.

3.)mantle : The mantle is the mostly-solid bulk of Earth's interior. The mantle lies between Earth's dense, super-heated core and its thin outer layer, the crust. The mantle is about 2,900 kilometers (1,802 miles) thick and makes up a whopping 84% of Earth's total volume.

4.)outer core : The outer core, about 2,200 kilometers (1,367 miles) thick, is mostly composed of liquid iron and nickel. The NiFe alloy of the outer core is very hot, between 4,500° and 5,500° Celsius (8,132° and 9,932° Fahrenheit).

5.)inner core: The inner core is a hot, dense ball of (mostly) iron. It has a radius of about 1,220 kilometers (758 miles). Temperature in the inner core is about 5,200° Celsius (9,392° Fahrenheit). The pressure is nearly 3.6 million atmosphere (atm).

What is an important difference between Western Europe economies and eastern urope exonomies?
mrs_skeptik [129]
The big difference between Eastern Europe and Western Europe is that Eastern Europe consists of countries that once belonged to the Soviet block, unlike the Western half. Economically, the Western Europe nations are much more advanced than the Eastern Europe nations. Western Europe outputs a lot more cash due to a larger free trade and more open economy as a whole.

In the unsaturated zone, the pores of the soil are totally filled with water. Please select the best answer from the choices pro
ohaa [14]

The answer is F.

An unsaturated zone is the portion of the subsurface above the ground water table where air as well as water are present in its pores.

Therefore the statement is false as  the pores would not be totally filled with water.

Hope it helps!
