Answer:

- crust

- mantle

- core

Step-by-step explanation:

The Earth is a planet that is divided into three major divisions, or layers. The top layer is the crust, which is brittle solid, and it is also the thinnest ones of the all. The second layer is the mantle, which is a layer that has higher temperature and pressure, composed mostly of molten rock, and being responsible for the tectonic movement on the crust above. The third, deepest layer, is the core. The core is the hottest and has the highest pressure. It is the layer that is responsible for the magnetic field of the planet.
