This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here is the complete question:

Study the image of the Earth's layer which statement correctly compares the thicknesses of earths layers

A. Earth’s mantle is thinner than its oceanic crust.

B. Earth’s outer core is thicker than its mantle.

C. Earth’s continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

D. Earth’s lithosphere is thinner than its asthenosphere.

The answer to this question is D. Earth’s lithosphere is thinner than its asthenosphere.

Explanation:

The image shows the different layers that are part of Earth, as well as the thickness of each layer, in kilometers. In this, the thickest layer is the Mantle that is almost 2900 kilometers; this is followed in thickness by the outer and the inner core.

Additionally, other layers such as the continental/oceanic crust, the asthenosphere, and the lithosphere that are near the surface are thinner. About this, it can be concluded the lithosphere is thinner than the asthenosphere because the lithosphere has a thickness of 100 km, while the asthenosphere thickness is 660km. This makes option D the correct.

A giant star has a luminosity of 300 its color is most likely to be
amm1812
<span>The correct answer is blue. If you look at a luminosity star chart, called the Hertzsprung Russell Diagram, you will see the measurement of luminosity on the left side, and you will see a curve of stars with different colors (which correlate to the colors of the stars). Look for 30 on the luminosity measurement (look between 1 and 100). Then, move horizontally across the diagram until you hit the stars, whose color will be blue. Thus, blue is the answer.</span>
