If an egg is a model of the earth, match each part of the egg to the part of earth it represents.

Plates = Cracked Pieces

Crust = Eggshell

Cloak = Egg white

Core = Egg yolk

Explanation:

Using a boiled egg, cut in half, we can recognize its parts and its interior. The earth's crust corresponds to the egg shell; it is the most superficial and hard layer of the Earth, formed by rocks. The crust is not formed by just one part, but by several others, which are the large plates that float over the mantle. The mantle corresponds to the egg white, which is the layer located just below the earth's crust and composed of very hot rocks that move constantly. In the center of the Earth, there is a large nucleus, which corresponds to the egg yolk. This is the hottest part of the Earth. The nucleus is divided into two, the outer, which is liquid, and the inner, which is solid. We cannot forget the plates, which can be represented by the cracked pieces.
