Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is the correct order of Earth’s structural layers, from top to bottom?
A
lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, inner core
B
outer core, inner core, mesosphere, asthenosphere, lithosphere
C
asthenosphere, mesosphere, lithosphere, outer core, inner core
D
outer core, inner core, lithosphere, mesosphere, asthenosphere
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mechanically, the earth’s layers can be divided into lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesospheric mantle (part of the Earth’s mantle below the lithosphere and the asthenosphere), outer core, and inner core. Chemically, Earth can be divided into the crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and inner core.

Detailed explanation-2: -They are, in order from the exterior to the interior – the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core.

Detailed explanation-3: -Starting at the center, Earth is composed of four distinct layers. They are, from deepest to shallowest, the inner core, the outer core, the mantle and the crust.

Detailed explanation-4: -Crust, mantle, core, lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, inner core.

Detailed explanation-5: -These five layers are the: Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Mesosphere, Outer Core, and Inner Core.
