Select the statement(s) that accurately describe the structure of Earth.
The outer core is nearly as hot as the sun’s surface.
We live on Earth’s crust.
The outer layer of Earth is made of mostly solid rock.
The inner core is made of liquid iron and nickel.
The mantle is below the crust and moves like thick oatmeal.
Here are the accurate statements that describe the structure of Earth:
1. We live on Earth’s crust. – This is correct; the crust is the outermost layer where we live.
2. The outer layer of Earth is made of mostly solid rock. – This is also correct; the crust and upper part of the mantle are primarily solid rock.
3. The mantle is below the crust and moves like thick oatmeal. – This is correct as well; the mantle is semi-solid and can flow very slowly, similar to thick oatmeal.
The other two statements are incorrect. The outer core is liquid and extremely hot, but not as hot as the sun’s surface, and the inner core is made of solid iron and nickel, not liquid.
