Problem Overview:
The task is to identify the layers and sub-layers of the Earth by matching the numbered labels in the diagram with the correct terms provided at the bottom. The diagram shows a cross-section of the Earth, and we need to label each layer accurately.
Key Layers and Sub-Layers of the Earth:
1.
Crust: The outermost solid layer of the Earth.
2.
Mantle: The layer beneath the crust, which can be further divided into:
-
Upper Mantle
-
Lower Mantle
3.
Asthenosphere: A part of the upper mantle that is semi-fluid and allows tectonic plates to move.
4.
Core: The central part of the Earth, which can be further divided into:
-
Outer Core: Liquid layer
-
Inner Core: Solid layer
Solution:
We will match each numbered label in the diagram with the correct term from the list provided.
#### Diagram Analysis:
-
Circular Diagram (Left Side):
-
1: Inner Core
-
2: Outer Core
-
3: Mantle
-
4: Crust
-
Cross-Section Diagram (Right Side):
-
5: Lithosphere (Crust + Uppermost solid mantle)
-
6: Asthenosphere
-
7: Upper Mantle
-
8: Lower Mantle
-
9: Outer Core
-
10: Inner Core
-
11: Core (general term for both inner and outer core)
#### Matching the Labels:
1.
Crust: Label
4 (in the circular diagram) and
5 (in the cross-section diagram).
2.
Mantle: Label
3 (in the circular diagram).
3.
Asthenosphere: Label
6 (in the cross-section diagram).
4.
Core: Label
11 (in the cross-section diagram).
5.
Outer Core: Label
2 (in the circular diagram) and
9 (in the cross-section diagram).
6.
Crust: Label
4 (in the circular diagram) and
5 (in the cross-section diagram).
7.
Lithosphere: Label
5 (in the cross-section diagram).
8.
Lower Mantle: Label
8 (in the cross-section diagram).
9.
Upper Mantle: Label
7 (in the cross-section diagram).
10.
Inner Core: Label
1 (in the circular diagram) and
10 (in the cross-section diagram).
Final Answer:
-
1: Inner Core
-
2: Outer Core
-
3: Mantle
-
4: Crust
-
5: Lithosphere
-
6: Asthenosphere
-
7: Upper Mantle
-
8: Lower Mantle
-
9: Outer Core
-
10: Inner Core
-
11: Core
