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).

Answer:

Explanation:

1.the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.

2.the upper layer of the earth's mantle, below the lithosphere, in which there is relatively low resistance to plastic flow and convection is thought to occur.

3.the mostly-solid bulk of Earth's interior.

4.the third layer of the Earth. It is the only liquid layer,

5.a hot, dense ball of (mostly) iron.

Which ideas did you include in your answer? check all that apply. inner planets rotate slower. outer planets rotate faster. inne
ser-zykov [4K]

Planet A is an outer planet, and Planet B is an inner planet, then Planet A will spin (rotate on its axis) faster than Planet B.

Using our Solar System as a model, we may determine the following:

The inner planets, which include our Earth, Mercury, Venus, and Mars, revolve more slowly than the outer planets (such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune). The reason for this is because the nearest planets are held firmly in place as they revolve around the Sun due to the massive gravitational field of the star.

However, for the same reason (because of their proximity to the Sun's gravitational field), inner planets complete one circle around the Sun faster than outer planets.

As a result, Planet A will spin (rotation on its axis) faster than Planet B if Planet A is an outer planet and Planet B is an inner planet.
