Match the layer with its correct description. 1.inner core plates that average about 30km in thickness and 25°c in temperature. 2.outer core solid rock about 2,200 km thick. temperature is about 3,000°

c. 3.lower mantle solid rock about 720 km thick that flows from plasticity. temperature is about 850°
c. 4.upper mantle (asthenosphere) made of solid iron about 1,200 km thick. temperature is about 7,000°
c. 5.crust (lithosphere) very dense liquid of iron and sulfur about 2,250 km thick. temperature is about 4,000°

Answer:

c. 5.crust (lithosphere) --plates that average about 30 km in thickness and 25°c in temperature.

4.upper mantle (asthenosphere) -- Solid rock about 720 km thick that flows from plasticity. Temperature is about 850 degrees Celsius.

3.lower mantle -- Solid rock about 2,200 km thick. Temperature is about 3,000 degrees.

2.outer core -- Very dense liquid of iron and sulphur about 2,250 km thick. Temperature is about 4,000 degrees Celsius.

1.inner core -- Made of solid iron about 1,200 km thick. temperature is about 7,000 degrees Celsius.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The earth's structure composition is highlighted in the above description form the top layers to the bottom layers of the earth and thus the lithosphere, asthenosphere and the outer and inner zones of the earth are formed on basis of the tectonic composition of the earth through the geologic past.

Here are the answers:

1. Inner Core - made of solid iron about 1,200 km thick. temperature is about 7,000°c
2. Outer Core - very dense liquid of iron and sulfur about 2,250 km thick. temperature is about 4,000°
c
3. Lower Mantle - solid rock about 2,200 km thick. temperature is about 3,000°c
4. Upper Mantle (asthenosphere) - solid rock about 720 km thick that flows from plasticity. temperature is about 850°
5. Crust (lithosphere) - plates that average about 30km in thickness and 25°c in temperature.

Hope it has come to your help.
