Broadly speaking the earth is solid in all layers except the outer core which is a liquid.

However there are mechanical differences in the behaviour of the solid layers in that some (such as the lithosphere) are brittle whereas the asthenosphere and mesosphere are ductile.

Where would you expect to find each state of matter in on our planet?

You can find solid matter on Earth's surface, like rocks and soil. You can find liquid matter in bodies of water like oceans, lakes, and rivers. Gaseous matter can be found in the atmosphere surrounding Earth.

What is the correct order starting from the surface of the Earth's layers?

The correct order of Earth's layers from the surface going inwards is: crust (continental and oceanic), mantle (upper and lower), outer core, and inner core. Each layer has distinct characteristics such as composition and state of matter.


As you move from earth's inner core outward to the crust. what happens to the density of each layer?

The density generally decreases as you move from the earth's inner core to the crust. The inner core is the most dense layer, followed by the outer core, mantle, and then the crust. This is due to variations in the composition and temperature of each layer.


Is gas the most important state of matter?

Gas is one of the states of matter, along with solids and liquids. The importance of each state of matter depends on the context in which it is being considered. Gas is important for many chemical reactions, industrial processes, and the Earth's atmosphere, but all states of matter have their own unique roles in the natural world.
