Answer:

Explanation:

the continental crust is older

continental crust forms land masses and the oceanic is found under the ocean floor

the density of the oceanic is higher than that of the continental

the oceanic crust is thinner than that of the continental crust

the oceanic crust recycles itself  ( that is the underside of the crust cools and sinks into a molten shelf.  The cooler side then melts and is recycled)  while the continental crust can not

What causes the temperature to decrease with height in the troposphere?
frozen [14]

We have all noticed that if we hike from a place with low elevation and go up at a place with high elevation, that the temperature is gradually dropping, thus giving us a clue that the lower places are warmer, while the higher places are cooler. The reason for this, even though both the places with low and high elevation are located in the troposphere, thus the same atmospheric layer, is that the density of it is not the same everywhere. The troposphere has the highest density at its lowest points, and as the height increase the density decreases. Since the higher parts are less dense, that means that there are less gases, thus there are less molecules that are further apart from each other. This results in lesser absorption of heat, so this parts are cooler, while the lower parts are warmer because the troposphere is denser, there's more molecules that are also closer to each other, thus they absorb more heat.
