Question

Many scientists believe that the formation process of other terrestrial planets in our solar system was similar to the formation of Earth. Based on this belief, what can you say about the crust, mantle, and core of other terrestrial planets?

For any terrestrial planet in the solar system, the _____ would be the densest layer, and the _____ would be the least dense layer.
1.crust, mantel, or core
2. crust, mantel, or core

Answer 1

For any terrestrial planet in the solar system, the core would be the densest layer, and the crust would be the least dense layer.

Answer 2

1. Core

2. Crust

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three layers of the Earth. The inner most is the core and it is the densest layer followed by mantle and the upper most layer is the crust. Crust is the least dense of all layers and is brittle in nature. Crust is a very thin layer on which we live. Mantle is thicker than crust and has silicate rocks with magnesium and iron. Outer mantle and core forms the lithosphere. The outer core contains Iron and nickel in molten form. The inner core also has iron and nickel. Inner core is solid.
