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.

Fynjy0 [20]
To avoid risks associated with tornadoes, lightning and hurricanes in the United States, you should steer clear of Florida. Hurricanes and Tornados are very destructive in nature and can wreck havoc over any area it passes through. Hurricanes can still be predicted but it is impossible to predict a tornado. Both hurricane and tornado are accompanied by severe lightning. Florida is a state in the US that is well known throughout the world for hurricanes and tornados. So it is always better to avoid such places.

How do I figure this out
bazaltina [42]
An Isosceles triangle has two even parts, you add them up. For example 60 degree plus another 60 degree angle is 120 degrees. And the limit is 180 degrees, so in order to get that last angle, you'd have to subtract 160 from 180. And that'd be 20 degrees. I couldn't see the question but I hope this helps you in a way
