Answer:
D, the lithosphere. (CRUST AND UPPER MANTLE)
Explanation:
A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary greatly, from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic Plates are among the largest. Plate thickness also varies greatly, ranging from less than 15 km for young oceanic lithosphere to about 200 km or more for ancient continental lithosphere (for example, the interior parts of North and South America).

Answer:
2000 nickels
Explanation:
One way to solve proportionality problems, direct and inverse: the simple 3 rule.
If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct (when one magnitude increases so does the other), the simple direct rule of three must be applied.
On the contrary, if the relationship between the magnitudes is inverse (when one magnitude increases the other decreases) the rule of three simple inverse applies.
The simple 3 rule is an operation that helps us quickly solve proportionality problems, both direct and inverse.
To make a simple rule of three we need 3 data: two magnitudes proportional to each other, and a third magnitude. From these, we will find out the fourth term of proportionality.
In the simple three rule, therefore, the proportionality relationship between two known values A and B is established, and knowing a third value C, a fourth value D is calculated.
A -> B
C -> D
Calculation
1 nickel --> 5 g
X? nickel --> 10000g
X = (10000 g * 1 nickel) / 5 g
X = 2000 nickels
