6. Label the layers of the Earth on the diagram below. Include: Continental Crust, Oceanic Crust, Mantle, Core. Label the main type of rock found in each layer. 7. Based on your results, place each layer in order of increasing density. Earth Layers: Lowest density Highest Cross-section of the Earth's interior density

6. Brief description of each layer of the Earth and the type of rock found in each layer:

Continental crust: When compared to the oceanic crust, the continental crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is thicker and less dense. Granite is the most prevalent form of rock in the continental crust.

Oceanic crust: The outermost part of the Earth's crust, known as the oceanic crust, is both denser and thinner than the continental crust. Basalt is the most prevalent form of rock in the oceanic crust.

Mantle: The upper and lower mantles are distinct layers that make up the layer under the Earth's crust. Peridotite is the primary type of rock found in the mantle.

Core: Inner and outer cores make up the Earth's innermost layer, which is known as the core. The outer core is made up of liquid iron and nickel, while the inner core is made up of solid iron and nickel.
