The statement that is supported by the information in the table is option A: As depth increases, the density of the layers increases.

Does density increase with depth in earth?

The surface, where the water is the warmest, has the lowest density. The pycnocline is a zone of rapidly rising density with depth that is present as depth increases. Given that the abrupt drop in temperature causes an increase in density, the pycnocline and thermocline are congruent.

The density of the layers of the earth likewise rises nearer the center due to increased pressure and the presence of heavier substances like nickel and iron there.

Therefore one can say that density has an inverse relationship with volume and a direct relationship with mass. Therefore, the density rises as the volume shrinks. (iv) As a result, density rises as the depth of the earth grows.
