Physical Layers Compositional Layers
mesosphere, asthenosphere, mantle, crust

Answer 1

To categorize the given layers into "Physical Layers" and "Compositional Layers," here's how they should be arranged:

**Physical Layers:**
- mesosphere
- asthenosphere
- mantle
- crust

**Compositional Layers:**
- crust (the outermost layer, composed of solid rock)
- mantle (primarily composed of silicate minerals)
- outer core (liquid layer composed mainly of iron and nickel)
- inner core (solid layer composed mainly of iron and nickel)

So, to clarify:

- **Physical Layers:**
- crust
- mantle
- asthenosphere
- mesosphere (note that the mesosphere is part of the mantle when considering physical layers)

- **Compositional Layers:**
- crust
- mantle
- outer core
- inner core

If you also need to specify outer and inner core, it might not need direct answers based on your current options, as you only provided crust, mantle, mesosphere, and asthenosphere.

In this case, let me know if you need further clarification or adjustments!
