The compositional zones of Earth's interior are the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. Each zone has unique physical and structural properties.

- The crust is the thin, solid, outermost zone of the Earth. It is approximately 35 kilometers thick.
- Below the crust is the mantle. Earth's mantle is more dense and thicker than the crust. It is approximately 2,900 kilometers thick.
- The outer core lies beneath the mantle and is hypothesized to be liquid in composition. It is 2,250 kilometers thick.
- Finally, the inner core is believed to be solid and is 1,250 kilometers thick.

Using the diagram to the right, fill in the temperature values for the depth distances given in the table below. The first row is completed for you as an example.

Crust & [tex]$1 km$[/tex] & [tex]$25^{\circ} C$[/tex] \\
\hline
Mantle & [tex]$1,000 km$[/tex] & \\
\hline
Outer Core & [tex]$4,000 km$[/tex] & \\
\hline
Inner Core & [tex]$6,000 km$[/tex] & \\

Let's fill in the temperature values for the given depths in the table.

1. Crust: At a depth of 1 kilometer, the temperature is [tex]\( 25^{\circ} C \)[/tex]. This value is already provided as an example in the table.

2. Mantle: At a depth of 1,000 kilometers, the temperature is approximately [tex]\( 1500^{\circ} C \)[/tex].

3. Outer Core: At a depth of 4,000 kilometers, the temperature is approximately [tex]\( 4000^{\circ} C \)[/tex].

4. Inner Core: At a depth of 6,000 kilometers, the temperature is approximately [tex]\( 5300^{\circ} C \)[/tex].

Now, let's complete the table with these temperatures:

[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} \hline \text{Zone} & \text{Depth (Kilometers)} & \text{Temperature } ( ^{\circ} \text{C}) \\ \hline \text{Crust} & 1 \text{ km} & 25 ^{\circ} \text{C} \\ \hline \text{Mantle} & 1,000 \text{ km} & 1500 ^{\circ} \text{C} \\ \hline \text{Outer Core} & 4,000 \text{ km} & 4000 ^{\circ} \text{C} \\ \hline \text{Inner Core} & 6,000 \text{ km} & 5300 ^{\circ} \text{C} \\ \hline \end{tabular} \][/tex]

Thus, the specified temperatures for each depth in the different compositional zones of Earth's interior are filled in the table accordingly.
