Answer:

crust and outer part of the mantle

Explanation:

The lithosphere is the outermost part of the earth. It is a rocky layer, which varies in thickness in the mountainous regions and in the deep sea depths, formed by the crust (terrestrial and oceanic) and the outer part of the upper mantle.

The lithosphere (name comes from the Greek, lithos = stone, rock and sphaira = sphere) relates to the other layers, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere and the biosphere, undergoing many changes as a result of these. It is composed of minerals and rocks, which can be of three types: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.

Earth's layers have different chemical compositions and temperatures, which favors the mantle being more liquid because there are very high temperatures, over 1000ºC. The crust is like a film, covering the surface of the planet, it is a very solid layer, while the mantle is more "plastic", that is, has a less rigid consistency.

Which of the following describes the amount of organic material that is available for transfer to the next trophic level after s
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Net Primary productivity

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, primary productivity is a term used for autotrophic organisms. It is the process by which these organisms like plants, green algae etc. make their own food using inorganic sources. However, they do not utilize all the matter they make from this process.

The NET PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY (NPP) is the amount of organic material that is available for transfer to the next trophic level after subtracting material used for respiration. This means that NPP is the amount available after removal of the one to be lost via respiration i.e. NPP = GPP - respiration.
