Question

summarize it! drag and drop the words or phrases that accurately complete the paragraph. the crust is the outer layer of the earth and is the blank layer. it is hard, brittle, and is mostly made of basalt and granite. the mantle is dense, hot, and semi - solid liquid rock. the mantle is the blank layer of the earth. the blank is separated into two parts. the outer core is made of liquid metal, and the inner core is solid, containing mostly iron and nickel. drag - and - drop word options: thinnest, fastest, core, mantle, thickest, hottest

Explanation:

1. For the first blank (describing the crust's thickness): The Earth's crust is known to be the thinnest layer among the crust, mantle, and core. So we use "thinnest".
2. For the second blank (identifying the layer that is the thickest): The mantle is the thickest layer of the Earth. So we use "thickest".
3. For the third blank (identifying the layer with iron and nickel): The core of the Earth is composed mostly of iron and nickel. So we use "core".

Answer:

1. The crust is the outer layer of the Earth and is the \boxed{thinnest} layer. It is hard, brittle, and is mostly made of basalt and granite.
2. The mantle is dense, hot, and semi - solid liquid rock. The mantle is the \boxed{thickest} layer of the Earth.
3. The \boxed{core} is separated into two parts. The outer core is made of liquid metal, and the inner core is solid, containing mostly iron and nickel.
