What is accumulation?
300
This layer of Earth is completely solid and made of mostly iron and some nickel.
What is the inner core?
300

This layer also shares a name with a layer of the Earth, and it is where comets and meteors burn out.
What is the mesosphere?
400
When precipitation is pulled downward or underground due to gravity to collect somewhere.

This layer of the atmosphere extends into outer space, and satellites orbit here.
What is the exosphere?
500
When plants or trees absorb water through their roots and liquid water evaporates off of leaves on the plant.
