Question

A peach has a layer of skin, a thick section of fruit, and a pit in the center. Which of these would a peach be a good model for?

Answer 1

The Earth

Step-by-step explanation:

"The pit in the center of the peach is like the core of the Earth. It is a dense solid found in the middle of the object. The flesh of the peach is like the Earth's mantle because it is in the middle and takes up the most space in the fruit. The skin is like the Earth's crust because it is on the surface of the fruit."

Answer 2

Earth's structure

Step-by-step explanation:

The peach, if cut in half, is a relatively good model for the structure of the Earth. The reason for this is that the peach's structure comes similar in appearance to what is thought that the Earth's structure is. The thin skin of the peach will represent the lithosphere, the crust, which is the top layer, but also the thinnest. The thick section of fruit will represent the mantle layer, which is significantly larger, denser, but also more liquid. The pit in the center will represent the densest layer, the core of the of the Earth.
