Question

Which of the following is out of order if we are considering the Earth from the atmosphere to the center?

1) mantle
2) inner core
3) outer core
4) Moho
5) crust

Answer 1

The Moho is out of order; it should be placed after the crust and before the mantle when considering the Earth from the atmosphere to the center.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Earth can be divided into several layers, each having distinct characteristics. The layer sequence of these Earth's components, beginning at the surface and moving towards the center, should be crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. Among the options presented, the Moho, or the Mohorovičić discontinuity, is out of order. It is the boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle. Thus, in a proper sequence, it should come after the crust and before the mantle.
