Which event would most likely occur if Earth did not retain the heat from its formation? Highlight the correct answer. The inner core would liquefy. Seismic waves would move the crust. The Earth's magnetic field would disappear. The asthenosphere and outer core would solidify.

The event that would most likely occur if Earth did not retain the heat from its formation is:

D. The asthenosphere and outer core would solidify.

Explanation:

Both the Earth's outer core and the asthenosphere are liquid. The outer core lies between the Earth's mantle and the solid inner core, being composed mostly of nickel and iron. The asthenosphere is the upper mantle of the Earth. It has a tarry consistency which allows the planet's crust to move. If the Earth had not retained the heat from its formation, both the outer core and the asthenosphere would have solidified. That would have caused the tectonic plates to remain stationary.

Among the options provided, the correct one is D. The asthenosphere and outer core would solidify.
