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).

Why do geographers use different terms to discuss these groups.
Over [174]

Answer:

Explanation:

Un geógrafo es un científico e investigador cuyo campo de estudio es la Geografía, el estudio de la superficie terrestre, tanto en su composición física como en las actividades e interrelaciones humanas que ocurren en ella. Estudian la superficie de la Tierra (geosfera) de acuerdo con sus estructuras espaciales, los procesos que tienen lugar y sus funciones (interacciones entre los geofactores). Trabajan entre las ciencias naturales, las ciencias sociales y las humanidades y se engloban en el grupo de profesiones que manejan información espacial.

Los geógrafos son generalistas debido a la amplitud de su campo de estudio y ser la Geografía una ciencia transversal, lo que le facilita integrarse con otros profesionales en equipos pluridisciplinares. Su forma de trabajar es a la vez analítica y normativa: los geógrafos empleados como planificadores se guían por la comprensión moderna de la planificación y brindan soluciones para los problemas entre los humanos y el medio ambiente.
