<h2>ANSWER:</h2>

C. asthenosphere

<h2>EXPLANATION:</h2>

The asthenosphere is the very gooey, mechanically weak and distorting region of the upper mantle of the Earth. It lies underneath the lithosphere, at profundities between around 80 and 200 km (50 and 120 miles) beneath the surface. The asthenosphere is relatively strong, albeit a portion of its areas could be liquid (e.g., beneath mid-sea edges). The lower limit of the asthenosphere isn't very much characterized. The thickness of the asthenosphere depends basically on the temperature. Notwithstanding, the rheology of the asthenosphere likewise relies upon the rate of deformation, which recommends that the asthenosphere could be additionally framed because of a high rate of misshapen. In a few regions, the asthenosphere could reach out as profound as 700 km (430 mi). It is viewed as the source area of mid-sea edge basalt

it is possible for two stars to have different temperatures and different sizes but the same luminosity. explain how.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Two stars (a and b) can have the same luminosity, but different surface area and temperature if the following condition is met:

(T_a^4)(R_a^2) = (T_b^4)(R_b^2)

Explanation:

The luminosity of a star is the total energy that produces in one second. It depends on the size of the star and its surface temperature.

L = σ(T^4)(4πR^2)

L is the luminosity f the star, T is the temperature of the surface of the star and R is its radius.  

Two stars can have the same luminosity if the relation between the radius and the surface temperature is maintained.  

To see this lets suposed you have 2 stars, a and b, and the luminosities of each one of them:

L_a = σ(T_a^4)(4πR_a^2)

L_b = σ(T_b^4)(4πR_b^2)

you can assume that L_a and L_b are equal:

σ(T_a^4)(4πR_a^2) = σ(T_b^4)(4πR_b^2)

Now, you can cancel the constants:

(T_a^4)(R_a^2) = (T_b^4)(R_b^2)

as long as this relation between a and b is true, then the luminosity can be the same.
