The Earth (geosphere) comprises several major layers, differing in chemical and mineral composition, material strength, and other physical properties. Which of the layers listed below constitutes the largest proportion of Earth's volume? a) Lithosphere
b) Crust
c) Outer core ·
d) Inner core
e) Mantle

Option E:

The mantle

Explanation:

The earth's mantle is the mushy, semi-solid portion of the earth that makes up most of the earth's volume. The mantle extends for a depth of about 2800km downwards into the earth, making it the largest internal portion of the earth.  It makes up about 84 percent of the earth's structure, leaving the core and the crust with 15 percent and 1 percent respectively.

Due its nature, convection currents are set up predominantly in the mantle of the earth, which leads to movements in the upper layers of the earth (the crust).

The mantle is large enough for the lighter crust to float on its surface.
