To determine which term goes in each box, we need to understand the different layers of the Earth.
- The layers of the Earth are the crust, mantle, and core.
- The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth, consisting of solid rocks and soil.
- The mantle is the layer beneath the crust and is composed of hot, semi-solid rock.
- The core is the innermost layer of the Earth and is divided into the outer core (liquid) and the inner core (solid).
Now, let's match the terms to the appropriate boxes:
- The term "B: crust" goes in the box that represents the crust.
- The term "•: core" goes in the box that represents the core.
- The remaining term "Layer 2" is associated with the mantle, so it goes in the box between the crust and the core.
Final arrangement:
Box 1: Crust (B: crust)
Box 2: Mantle (Layer 2)
Box 3: Core (•: core)
