Question

which description of earths mantle is true?
○ composed of melted, liquid metal
○ about 31 to 62 miles thick
○ located between the inner and outer core
○ both solid and flowing

Explanation:

• The first option describes Earth's outer core, not the mantle.
• The second option refers to the thickness of the crust, not the mantle.
• The third option is incorrect; the mantle lies between the crust and the outer core.
• The mantle is a solid rock layer that can slowly flow over long periods due to high temperature and pressure, making it exhibit both solid and flowing properties.

Answer:

both solid and flowing
