Explanation:

To determine the order of Earth's layers from most dense to least dense, we rely on scientific knowledge about Earth's interior:

1. Inner Core: It is solid, composed mainly of iron and nickel, and has the highest density due to extreme pressure and the nature of its materials.
2. Outer Core: Liquid, also composed of iron and nickel, with a density slightly less than the inner core (but still very high, as it is metallic and under great pressure).
3. Mantle: Made of silicate rocks (solid but flows slowly over geologic time) with a density lower than the core layers.
4. Crust: The outermost, thinnest layer, composed of lighter rocks (like granite and basalt), with the lowest density among Earth’s layers.

Answer:

Most dense → Inner Core, Outer Core, Mantle, Crust ← Least dense

(Note: The original handwritten answer had a misspelling for “mantle” and an unclear first term; the correct order from most to least dense is Inner Core > Outer Core > Mantle > Crust.)
