From what you have learned, you can conclude that

iron will melt only at a very high temperature.

the part of the Earth's crust that forms land masses.

The mantle is made of

very hot rock that flows like hot asphalt

It is most likely that the high pressure in the core comes from

the weight of the layers above the core.

You can infer that earthquakes are caused by

the movements of Earth's crust.

the deeper the layer, the hotter the temperature.

more dense than continental crust

One can best show Earth's layers by a

peach half, showing the skin, flesh, and pit.
