This sublayer of the mantle includes the transition zone because it extends into the core:
asthenosphere
lithosphere
mesosphere
11

Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift states:
the continents aren't moving
the continents were once all connected in a single landmass
dinosaurs died out because an asteroid collided with earth
the earth is slowly cooling and shrinking

Pangaea
Wegener
Panorama
Pandora

The reason the inner core is SOLID is because:
it is very sticky so it forms a solid
the pressure is so great, the matter cannot become liquid
the atoms are afraid, so they cling together
