Correct Answer: Crust


Solution : The correct answer is Crust .

The Earth's interior is divided into three concentric layers: crust, mantle and core. The crust is composed of silicate solids; the mantle contains viscous molten rock; the outer core comprises viscous liquid; and the inner core is made up of dense solids. The thickness of the crust varies between 5 and 30 kilometres for the oceanic crust and 50 and 70 kilometres for the continental crust.
