Question

Describe the five layers of the earth by providing the following information for each layer:

Name of the layer
Composition
Average temperature
Average thickness

Answer 1

Lithosphere/ Crust- made of large plates that move, average thickness is 30 km, average temperature is 25 degrees Celsius

Inner Core- made of solid iron, 1,200 km thick, 7,000 degrees Celsius

Outer Core- made of a dense liquid of iron and sulfur, 2,250 km thick, 4,000 degrees Celsius

Lower Mantle- made of solid rock, 2,200 km thick, 3,000 degrees Celsius

Asthenosphere/ Upper Mantle- made up of solid rock that flows due to plasticity, 720 km thick, 850 degrees Celsius

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Inner Core.The Crust, oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. It is divided into huge plates that float on the mantle, which is in the next layer. its about 25 miles thick, and there is really not a average temp.

The Mantle, is a silicate rocky shell about 1,802 miles thick.

Outer Core, composed of mostly iron and nickel that lies above Earth's solid
inner core its about 1400 miles thick. its temps are between 44000 F and 66000 F

Inner Core. temp is about 100000 F and 1250 km thick. is is highly compact rock and medles
