To correctly organize the given items into the correct location (points) for the Physical Layers and Compositional Layers, you need to understand the structure of the Earth. Here is a step-by-step process to find the correct location for each item:
1. Understand the Earth's structure:
- The Earth's interior can be divided into two types of layers: physical layers and compositional layers.
- Physical layers refer to the division based on physical properties, such as the state of matter and mechanical behavior.
- Compositional layers refer to the division based on the chemical composition of the layers.
2. Identify the physical layers and compositional layers:
- Physical Layers: These layers are based on the mechanical properties and can be classified into crust, mantle, and core.
- Compositional Layers: These layers are based on the chemical composition and can be classified into the crust, mantle, and core as well.
3. Match the items to their correct locations:
- Crust: The Earth's outermost layer is called the crust. Both physically and compositionally, the crust is located at the top.
- Mesosphere: The mesosphere is a physical layer of the Earth, located below the crust and the mantle.
- Mantle: The mantle is both a physical and compositional layer of the Earth. It lies below the crust and extends to the core.
- Asthenosphere: The asthenosphere is a physical layer located below the lithosphere (which is part of the crust) and forms part of the upper mantle.
Based on the given items, you can now match them to their correct locations:
Physical Layers:
- Crust: Top
- Mesosphere: Below the crust and mantle
- Asthenosphere: Below the lithosphere
Compositional Layers:
- Mantle: Below the crust and above the core
Note: It is important to note that the term "mesosphere" can also refer to a region of Earth's atmosphere, but in this context, we assume it refers to the Earth's layers.
