8. Viscous rock is rock that flows in an imperfectly fluid manner upon application of unbalanced forces. The rock will change its form under the influence of a deforming force, but not instantly, as more perfect fluids appear to do.

9. The crust (crustal zones) is the outer layer of the Earth, originally considered to overlay a molten interior, now defined in various ways (lithosphere, tectonosphere, etc.).

11. The mantle is the layer of the Earth lying between the crust and the core. The mantle extends from depths of about 19 miles (30 kilometers) in the continental areas to 1,790 miles (2,800 kilometers), where the core begins.
