How do the mass and the density of the mantle compare with the mass and density of Earth's core? (1 point)

Question

The mantle's mass is greater than the core's mass, but with less density.

The mantle's mass and its density are less than that of the core.

The mantle's mass and its density are greater than that of the core.

The mantle's mass is less than the core's mass, but with greater density.

Answer 1

The correct comparison is: The mantle's mass is greater than the core's mass, but with less density.

The Earth's mantle has a greater mass than the core, but its average density is lower than that of the core. The core is composed mainly of heavy metals like iron and nickel, contributing to its higher density.
