Question

this diagram is a model of earths layers. use the words below to label the layers.
asthenosphere
inner core
continental crust
lithosphere
outer core
oceanic crust
save answer

Explanation:

First, identify the unlabeled layers in the diagram from outermost to innermost: the layer beneath the crust (part of the upper mantle), the layer between the asthenosphere and outer core, and the innermost layer. Match each to the remaining terms:

1. The semi-fluid layer under the lithosphere is the asthenosphere.
2. The rigid layer combining crust and upper mantle is already labeled lithosphere, so the next layer down (between asthenosphere and outer core) is the mantle (not listed, but the remaining labeled term for the deep layer is the inner core for the center).
3. The innermost, solid layer at Earth's center is the inner core.

Wait, correcting: The unlabeled layer between the lithosphere (crust + upper mantle) and outer core is the mantle, but since the given terms are asthenosphere, inner core, we map:

• The orange layer (under lithosphere) = asthenosphere
• The innermost layer (not shown but the deepest term left) = inner core

Wait, no, the diagram's red layer is outer core, so the center (not shown but the term) is inner core, and the orange layer is asthenosphere.

Answer:

1. The orange layer (between lithosphere and outer core) = asthenosphere
2. The innermost, central layer of Earth = inner core
3. (Note: The remaining implied layer between asthenosphere and outer core is the lower mantle, but it is not provided; the only remaining terms are the two above, so the labels to fill are:

• Empty box 1: asthenosphere (for the semi-fluid upper mantle layer)
• Empty box 2: inner core (for Earth's central solid layer)
• The third empty box would be the lower mantle, but since it's not in the given terms, the provided terms are fully assigned to the missing diagram labels as asthenosphere and inner core)

Final labeled matches:

• Orange layer: asthenosphere
• Earth's central core: inner core
