Imagine you are digging a hole to the center of the earth. in which order would dig through them? inner core, outer core, upper mantle, lower mantle, crust crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, inner core crust, outer core, inner core, upper mantle, lower mantle inner core, outer core, lower mantle, upper mantle, crust

The order in which you would dig through the layers is

crust → upper mantle → lower mantle → outer core → inner core

See the image below.

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.

the dependant variable is spilled water

the independent is the heat
