Select the simile in the passage.
If you could slice deep into the earth, you would find that it is arranged in layers. Geologists - earth scientists - believe that the top most layer of rock, or crust, is between four and forty miles thick. Earth's crust is like an eggshell broken into 10 enormous slabs and numerous small ones. These slabs called plates, float on a layer of partially molten rock called the mantle - that is, the layer of rock between Earth's crust and core.
