“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.

What is the wavelength of radio waves? Which statement is true for a cooling curve? A. It shows how the temperature of the subst
ladessa [460]

Answer:

Most radio waves have wavelengths between 1 mm and 100 km.

A cooling curve shows A. how the temperature of a substance falls as heat is removed.

Explanation:

<em>Radio waves</em> are the longest of all the waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Most have wavelengths between 1 mm and 100 km, although there is no upper limit.

Some radio waves have wavelengths of 10 000 km.

A <em>cooling curve</em> (see image below) shows how the temperature of a substance falls as it is cooled.

In Option E., a decrease in temperature would cause an energy <em>loss</em>.

Options B., C., and D. involve the <em>addition of heat</em>.
