A student uses clay to construct a model of Earth. Which layer of the model should be the thinnest layer?
A
crust
B
mantle
C
inner core
D
outer core
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The inner core, mantle and crust are solid, and the outer core is molten, or liquid. The crust is the thinnest layer of the Earth and is the layer on which we live.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oceanic Crust is the thinnest layer of earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mantle: Around the outer core, wrap red clay for the mantle. Earth’s mantle, which is about 2900 5. km thick, is Earth’s thickest layer.

Detailed explanation-4: -The average thickness of the crust is about 15 km (9 mi) to 20 km (12 mi). Because both continental and oceanic crust are less dense than the mantle below, both types of crust “float” on the mantle.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Four Layers. The Crust. The Mantle. Convection Currents. Outer Core. Inner Core.
