A hypothetical planet similar to Earth essentially consists of eight different internal material layers each with a particular density, as shown below:
Material C: Density = 1.200 g/cmexp3 Phase = Liquid
Material E: Density = 2.700 g/cmexp3 Phase = Solid
Material I: Density = 1.000 g/cmexp3 Phase = Liquid
Material K: Density = 11.500 g/cmexp3 Phase = Solid
Material N: Density = 0.004 g/cmexp3 Phase = Gas
Material O: Density = 4.900 g/cmexp3 Phase = Solid
Material R: Density = 8.000 g/cmexp3 Phase = Liquid
Material W: Density = 3.200 g/cmexp3 Phase = Liquid
Based on your knowledge of matter and the gross internal architecture of the Earth, answer the following questions.
1. List in order, from the outside of the planet to the center of the planet
in which each material listed would most likely be found.
2. Which material(s), if any, would comprise the planet's atmosphere?
3. Which material(s), if any, would comprise the planet's hydrosphere?
4. Which material(s), if any, would comprise the planet's crust?
5. Which material(s), if any, would comprise the planet's mantle?
6. Which material(s), if any, would comprise the planet's outer core?
7. Which material(s), if any, would comprise the planet's inner core?
