When looking at this question, we can easily start by eliminating certain answers. In the selections you've provided, you've shown atmosphere. We can easily eliminate letter A, as that makes absolutely no sense. Moving on, you also eliminate letter B, as that deals with ecosystems and whatnot. And finally, you can eliminate hydrosphere, letter C - as that's not the same. That deals with water, like oceans or rivers.
That leaves you with D) Lithosphere for your answer. The Lithosphere is the rigid part of the earth, the outermost layer, I would say. The crust / mantle. That's why it would be letter D - plate tectonics seem to have relations with the Lithosphere. The lithosphere is affected.
Answer:
1.28 x 10^4 N
Explanation:
m = 1500 kg, h = 450 km, radius of earth, R = 6400 km
Let the acceleration due to gravity at this height is g'
g' / g = {R / (R + h)}^2
g' / g = {6400 / (6850)}^2
g' = 8.55 m/s^2
The force between the spacecraft and teh earth is teh weight of teh spacecraft
W = m x g' = 1500 x 8.55 = 1.28 x 10^4 N
Answer:

Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Sound level intensity

Generally the equation for intensity level is mathematically given by

Where
I= Intensity measured






Energy is the capacity to do some type of work
