Which of Earth's layers has the same chemical composition as the mesosphere?(1 point)

Question

Responses

lithosphere
lithosphere

outer core
outer core

inner core
inner core

asthenosphere

Answer 1

The layer of Earth that has a similar chemical composition to the mesosphere is the asthenosphere.

The mesosphere (the lower part of the mantle) and the asthenosphere both consist of silicate minerals and have similar mineral compositions. The lithosphere, outer core, and inner core have different compositions (the outer core is liquid iron and nickel, while the inner core is solid iron and nickel).
