Answer:

The correct answer is mantle.

Explanation:

The Earth is formed of four distinct layers. The crust refers to the layer, on which we live, the mantle is much hotter and possesses the tendency to flow, and the inner core and the outer core. The crust is the thinnest layer in comparison to the other three layers, that is, it is only about 3 to 5 miles thick underneath the oceans, and about 25 miles thick underneath the continents.  

Mantle refers to the layer, which is situated directly underneath the sima, that is, the lower layer of the Earth's crust and is the largest layer of the planet, that is, about 1800 miles in thickness. This section of the Earth comprises very hot and dense rocks. The temperature of the mantle differs from 1600 degrees F at the top to about 4000 degrees F close to the bottom.

A thunderstorm! You see a flash of lightning across the sky. Five seconds later, your hear the thunder. If lightning and thunder
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Light travels extremely fast through the air, 300,000,000 m/s. Sound travels much slower, 343 m/s through air. Therefore we can see light in an instant, but it takes a while to hear thunder.

Explanation:

When you compare the numbers (speed of light vs speed of sound) you understand that light is 10^6 faster in speed that sound. When lightning occurs at a greater distance from the observer, this difference in speeds in more perceptible because the two different waves would have to travel greater distances to the observer and the relative differences in speed become increased.

Remember however, that sound travels in a medium while light waves do not require a medium because they are electromagnetic waves. In a vacuum, therefore, you would observe the lightning but never the sound.
