Approximate Density of Earth's Layers
Layer Density (in grams per cubic centimeter)
Continental Crust 2.7 - 3.0
Mantle 3.3 - 5.5
Outer Core 9.9 - 12.0
Inner Core 12.5 - 13.0

Based on the information in the table, what can you conclude about the density of the Earth’s layers?
A) The density of the layers decreases as the pressure increases.
B) The density of the layers increases as the temperature decreases.
C) The density increases in layers that are closer to the core of the Earth.
D) The density increases in layers that are closer to the surface of the Earth.
