Based on the information provided, you can conclude that "The rocks in the core are the most dense." Generally, as you move deeper into the Earth, the density of rocks increases due to the increased pressure and the composition of materials. The core, primarily made up of iron and nickel, is much denser than the rocks found in the crust and mantle.
You have learned that different types of rocks are found in Earth’s layers. Their composition affects their densities.
What can you conclude based on the information in the table?
The rocks in the crust are the most dense.
The rocks in the upper mantle are the most dense.
The rocks in the lower mantle are the most dense.
The rocks in the core are the most dense.
