To correctly place the items in their respective locations, we need to understand the composition of the Earth's layers. Here's a breakdown of each layer:
1. Crust: The Earth's surface layer, mostly composed of solid rock. It is divided into two types: continental crust, which makes up the continents, and oceanic crust, found beneath the oceans.
2. Mantle: The layer beneath the crust and the thickest layer of the Earth. It consists of solid rock that flows slowly due to high temperature and pressure. The mantle can be further divided into compositional layers.
3. Asthenosphere: This layer is part of the upper mantle, located just beneath the lithosphere (which includes the crust). The asthenosphere is partially molten and forms a plastic-like, weak layer where the lithospheric plates move and interact.
4. Mesosphere: The lower part of the mantle, extending from the base of the asthenosphere to the Earth's core. The mesosphere is solid and rigid due to very high pressure.
To organize the items correctly, we need to match the physical layers with their corresponding compositional layers:
- Crust: Physical layer - A
- Mesosphere: Physical layer - D
- Asthenosphere: Compositional layer - C
- Mantle: Compositional layer - B
Thus, the correct placement of each item is as follows:
A. Crust - Physical layer
B. Mesosphere - Physical layer
C. Asthenosphere - Compositional layer
D. Mantle - Compositional layer
To properly arrange the given items, we need to match each layer with its corresponding location. Here is the correct placement for each item:
Physical Layers:
A. Crust - Compositional layers
B. Mesosphere - Physical layers
C. Asthenosphere - Physical layers
D. Mantle - Compositional layers
