Answer:

The portion of earth underneath the crust containing the asthenosphere  and mesosphere is outer core and inner core .

Explanation:

The outer core of the earth is ball of very hot metals . Its temperature is hot enough to melt all metals into liquid state . This is mainly composed of the melted metals nickel and iron . This has got got temperature between 4000 degrees to 9000 degrees .

Inner core is underneath the outer core ,Here the pressure is too high and this makes the metals squeezed and not even able to move like liquid . They are forced to vibrate just like a solid . This has got a thickness of 800 miles . The pressure here is comparably 3,000,000 times the air pressure at sea level.

What are the units of measure for distance?
olga2289 [7]
The most common unit is meters (m for short). It is the base unit for distance or displacement in the metric system. If you are dealing with larger distances, you might use kilometers (I'm for short) which is just 1000 meters. On the other hand, centimeter (cm) are used for small distances and are 1/100 of a meter. Another common unit is millimeters (mm) which is 1/1000 of a meter.
