Question

Mantle of the earth crust is ?

• A. A layer with the composition of semi-solid mineral matter
• B. A layer with the composition of fluid mineral matter
• C. A layer with the composition of semi-fluid mineral matter
• D. A layer with the composition of gaseous mineral matter

Hint:

Crust = solid, Mantle = semi-fluid, Outer core = liquid, Inner core = solid.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: The Earth's structure is divided into crust, mantle, and core. 
Step 2: The mantle lies below the crust and extends up to 2,900 km deep. 
Step 3: It consists of semi-fluid silicate minerals, enabling tectonic plate movement (asthenosphere). \[ \boxed{\text{Semi-fluid mineral matter}} \]
