Answer:

The correct answer is D. The crust of the Earth is a solid outer layer, between 3 and 30 miles thick, and separated into plates.

Explanation:

The earth's crust is the outermost solid part of the Earth. It represents 1% of the planet's volume, composed of minerals that form rocks. It is discontinuous due to the fact that it has tectonic plates that are on continuous movement. It is very dynamic with great geological activity. It has an average thickness of between 5 and 33 km on average. The outermost part of the upper mantle is firmly linked to the cortex, forming a compact set called lithosphere.

The answer is D) The crust, because it is the only solid outer layer, and it is the only layer that is separated into plates.

How is the movement in the asthenosphere responsible for volcanoes and earthquakes?
masha68 [24]

Answer:

When plates move away from each other, the space between them gets filled with material, which rises to the surface, cools and forms mid-oceanic ridges. The Pacific Ocean is growing wider by about 18 cm per year as the plates diverge and the mid-oceanic ridge is built up. Where plates come into contact, energy is released. Plates sliding past each other cause friction and heat. Subducting plates melt into the mantle, and diverging plates create new crust material. Subducting plates, where one tectonic plate is being driven under another, are associated with volcanoes and earthquakes.  

When Alfred Wegener first proposed the idea of continental drift (the precursor idea to plate tectonic theory), it didn’t quite explain the full story. While he correctly showed that Africa and South America fitted together, his model wasn’t able to explain the violent forces that occur around the Earth’s crust. It wasn’t until the 1960s that a full explanation began to develop – the theory of plate tectonics.
