Question

practice it! which of the following best describes the density of earths layers? the density of the layers is in no particular order. the mantle is the densest layer, with 67% of earths mass. the density of the layers decreases as you move away from the core. the inner core is the densest layer, and the density of the layers increases as you move away from the core. the inner core is the least dense layer and is solid rock. the densities of the layers are all the same. it is the temperatures that decrease as you move away from the core.

Explanation:

The Earth's crust is the out - most layer and is the least dense. As you move towards the core (from the crust through the mantle to the core), the density of the layers increases due to higher pressure and different compositions. The inner core is the densest layer.

Answer:

The density of the layers increases as you move away from the crust towards the core. The crust is the least dense layer.
