Answer 1

Geosphere, lithosphere, crust, mesosphere, mantle, core, asthenosphere, and tectonic plates.

Explanation:

1. Geosphere:-
   It is the solid part of the earth that extends from center of the core to the surface of the earth.

2. Lithosphere:-
   The cool rigid outer layer of the earth which includes the crust and the upper core of the mantle.

3. Crust:-
   Made up of many light elements and is the outermost layer of the earth.

4.Mesosphere:-
Lower layer of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core.

5.Mantle:-Makes up 64% of the mass of the earth and lies between the crust and the core.

6 .Core:- the inner most layer of the earth composed of the dense metals.

7.Asthenosphere:- It is a plastic solid layer of the mantle which is made of rocks.

8.Tectonic plates:- Pieces that glide across the underlying asthenosphere
