“The Earth’s lithosphere is thinner than its asthenosphere”, the statement correctly compares the thicknesses of Earth’s layers

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

The outermost parts of the Earth composed of crust and a part of the upper mantle is termed as lithosphere. And asthenosphere is positioned below lithosphere. The bottom layer of lithosphere has the parts of the upper crust.

So the highly viscous and ductile region in the remaining part of the upper crust forms the asthenosphere below the lithosphere. The upper crust in the lithosphere region contain elastic properties while the upper crust in the asthenosphere is ductile in nature. Thus the statement that lithosphere is thinner than asthenosphere is true as it is located at the surface.

The sun shines with equal intensity on a farm field, an asphalt road, and the ocean. Which material will heat up most during the
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The sun shines with equal intensity on a farm field, an asphalt road and the ocean. So basically asphalt road are heated the most during the day

Explanation:

The heat of water is more than the specific heat of sand.

Therefore sand is hot.

.Water is reflecting solar radiation.  

The land retains more heat since the land absorb solar radiation.

Therefore the land surfaces warm faster.

Since water is a slow conductor of heat, it need more energy than the sand. so its temperature is increasing.  soil loses heat faster.  

The ocean heats slower than land , the land air is more warmer than lean air. After the sun set the land loses heat quickly .The air above it cools.

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

I would recommend them becoming an Analytical Chemist because Analytical Chemists examine and identify various elements and compounds to find out the composition, structure, and nature of substances and they determine the concentration of chemical pollutants in soil, water,and air. I would recommend taking inorganic, organic, analytical, and physical chemistry as well as computer science, physics, and environmental science
