Question

study the diagram about the varying pressures of earths layers.
which layer most likely has a pressure, represented in units of gpa, within the range of 310 gpa to 150 gpa?
○ outer core
○ inner core
○ lithosphere
○ oceanic crust

Explanation:

The diagram shows the outer core has a pressure starting at 125 GPa (at its top, 2900 km depth) and increasing to 330 GPa (at its bottom, 5100 km depth). This range includes the interval 150 GPa to 310 GPa. The inner core starts at 330 GPa, above the upper limit of the range. The lithosphere (crust + upper mantle) and oceanic crust have far lower pressures, well below 150 GPa.

Answer:

A. outer core
