Question

• A. Magma
• B. Mantle
• C. Core
• D. Crust

Answer 1

The correct option is D Crust

The above-mentioned layer of the Earth is the crust. The Earth's crust is the outermost layer of the Earth. It forms just 1% of the Earth's landmass. It is the thinnest and the most rudimentary layer that makes up the Earth. The two main types of the crust are the oceanic and the continental crust. They differ due to plate tectonics. The continental crust is composed mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is mostly composed of basalt.
