You can infer that earthquakes are caused by

the movements of Earth's crust.

From what you have learned, you can conclude that

iron will melt only at a very high temperature.

The mantle is made of

very hot rock that flows like hot asphalt

One can best show Earth's layers by a

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

more dense than continental crust

the deeper the layer, the hotter the temperature.

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

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

the weight of the layers above the core.
