"The lithosphere is subdivided into tectonic plates. The upper part of the lithosphere which chemically reacts to the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere through the soil forming process is called the pedosphere. The lithosphere is underlain by the athenosphere which is the weaker, hotter, deeper part of the upper mantle."

Answer :

A system is a collection of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent parts creating a complicated body. So if lithosphere is a method then the top mantle-stratosphere, coat, tectonic plates, volcanoes on a shell, hills, fields and other geological characteristics are its segments. There will be inter communications among these segments. For example, the displacement of tectonic plates forms ridges, drains, produces volcanoes, earthquakes,etc. It affects people because people live on the surface of the planet i.e., on a crust and the crustal characteristics will change the way of life, gives sources for the survival of humans, the crustal changes will create damage and loss of human lives.

luda_lava [24]
A fog is just a cloud at the ground. Fog formation can occur in two ways. First, the air is cooled to the dew point which leads to the formation of fog droplets. When the air temperature is the same as the dew point temperature, condensation occurs on tiny particles floating in the air. The second method of fog formation requires water to evaporate from the surface into the air, raising the dew point until condensation occurs.

The terrain of Central Asia is characterized by all of the following except<br>​
kondor19780726 [428]

The correct answer is - ocean beaches.

Central Asia is a landlocked region, and the only water bodies that it has contact with are few large lakes, like the Caspian one. The region has no sea or ocean nearby, thus ocean beaches are not something that can be found.

Central Asia in general is a region that is arid and semi-arid, while the terrain varies between vast lowlands and very high mountains. The lowlands are mostly covered with grasslands or with deserts. The high mountains on the other hand, give a big contrast, as they are actually having numerous glaciers on them, despite being surrounded by deserts and steppes.
