Which statements are true descriptions of Earth's interior layers? Select the two correct answers.(1 point) Responses The mesosphere is the outermost layer of Earth. The mesosphere is the outermost layer of Earth. The outer core is composed of different elements than the inner core. The outer core is composed of different elements than the inner core. The mantle is composed of silicate material. The mantle is composed of silicate material. The crust is composed of iron with nickel and sulfur. The crust is composed of iron with nickel and sulfur. The asthenosphere is located below the lithosphere.
The correct statements are:
1. The mantle is composed of silicate material.
2. The asthenosphere is located below the lithosphere.
Which of the following layers is defined by its physical properties?(1 point) Responses mantle mantle crust crust asthenosphere asthenosphere core
The asthenosphere is defined by its physical properties as it is characterized by its plasticity and ability to flow.
The correct statements about Earth's interior layers are:
1. The mantle is composed of silicate material.
2. The asthenosphere is located below the lithosphere.
To arrive at these answers, let's look at the descriptions of each layer:
1. The mesosphere is not the outermost layer of Earth. The correct answer is false.
2. The outer core is composed of molten iron and nickel, while the inner core is solid iron. Therefore, they are not composed of different elements. The correct answer is false.
3. The mantle is indeed composed of silicate material. The correct answer is true.
4. The crust is not composed of iron with nickel and sulfur. It is mainly composed of lighter elements like oxygen, silicon, aluminum, and magnesium. The correct answer is false.
5. The asthenosphere is a layer in the upper part of the mantle, located below the lithosphere. The correct answer is true.
So, the two correct statements are:
1. The mantle is composed of silicate material.
2. The asthenosphere is located below the lithosphere.
