Given the choices, your answer would be the first statement.
Answer:
b less dense and thicker under the continents than under the oceans
Explanation:
- <em>Oceanic crust </em>is found under the ocean, it's about 6 kilometers thick and is destroyed in subduction zones just like the continental crust. It's composed of several layers and it differs from continental crust because it's thinner, denser, younger and with a different chemical composition (olivine, pyroxene, and amphibole).
- <em>Continental crust</em> is thicker (100 kilometers) and less dense than oceanic crust, it resists subduction and its age is 30 times the average of the ocean's age.
Considering this information we can conclude that the correct asnwer is: b less dense and thicker under the continents than under the oceans.

Volga River is the longest river in Europe.
It is also a source of hydroelectricity for many Russian cities along its basin
The correct answer is - A. Electricity.
Russia is a country that has an abundance of natural resources, and it uses them in order to produce its own electricity, and does it multiple ways. As one of the countries that has developed nuclear programs from long time ago, Russia has also used this technology in order to build nuclear reactors for the production of electricity. Also, the country has numerous rivers that are very large in every aspect, so lots of hydroelectric capacities have been built in the dams for production of electricity. The fossil fuels are also used on a big scale, and the usage of coal and mazut in the generators for producing electricity is still big.
