If Earth was like a hardboiled egg, which part of Earth would the egg white represent?
A.Mantle, as its depth is less than 2,900 kilometers
B.Core, as its depth is less than 2,900 kilometers
C.Mantle, as its depth is up to 6,500 kilometers
D.Core, as its depth is up to 6,500 kilometers

A boiled egg can be used as a model in order to understand the interior of the earth. The hard outer shell can be considered as the crust. The white portion is considered as the mantle and the yellow portion (yolk) represents the core of the earth.

The mantle is the middle layer of the earth that extends up to a depth of about 2900 kilometre. This layer is important because the convection currents are formed here due to the heat energy supplied from the interior of the earth. This convection current is responsible for plate motion.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
