Answer: Layers that are less dense, such as the crust, float on layers that are denser, such as the mantle. Both oceanic crust and continental crust are less dense than the mantle, but oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. This is partly why the continents are at a higher elevation than the ocean floor.

Explanation:

Hello!

We call stations a period of time characterized by a particular behavior of the meteorological parameters. On earth, the seasons are 4 and last 3 months.

The stations are produced by the inclination of the planetary axis of rotation with respect to the plane of translation, with which they move around the sun. The axis of terrestrial rotation is inclined approximately 23.45 ° with respect to the plane of the orbit with which it surrounds the sun.
