Answer:

C. The layers of Earth are uniform in thickness.

Explanation:

The earth is made up of three layers, the crust, the mantle and the core. Each layer has different characteristics and temperatures, becoming warmer as it approaches the core.

The Earth is formed by three layers that are not uniform in thickness, composition, or characteristic. These layers are:

  • Earth's crust: Most superficial layer, relatively thin structure and very rocky.
  • Mantle: Located below the crust, it has solid properties.
  • Core: Earth's warmest inner layer. It has two parts:
  1. Outer core: formed by nickel and liquid iron.
  2. Inner core: Also formed of nickel, but with solid iron.

How is the shape of a shark's body adapted for swimming?
inn [45]
Their bodies taper to points at both the snout and the tail, reducing water resistance. Also decreasing drag -- and therefore noise -- are dermal denticles, sharp scales that cover the skin of most shark species.  Rather than bone, sharks have cartilage, which is much lighter and more flexible. In addition, their livers produce squalene, a fatty oil that helps them remain afloat. Their pectoral fins allow them to quickly change direction, dive and swim upward.
