<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Continental plate is less denser than the oceanic plate so it is floating on the oceanic plate.  </em>

Continental plate is composed of Silicon and Aluminium materials otherwise it is known as SiAl layer, its average density is 3 g/m3. Oceanic plate is composed of Silicon and Magnesium minerals otherwise it is known as SiMa layer and its average density is 5 g/cm3. Both continent and ocean plate lies in the Lithospehere, it extends up to 100 km of the below earth. Temperature will increase if we go beyond every metre in depth.

How many animals are dying from water pollution?
poizon [28]

It is estimated that 100 million animals die every year due to water pollution.

In addition, ocean pollution affects 1,000 species of marine animals. However, these are rough estimates because it is almost impossible to calculate the exact number of animals killed by water pollution. Polluted water can pose a serious threat to both animals and humans. Animals and plants living in this water often die from this pollution.

Even if a particular animal did not die from pollution, it would likely die from changes in the food chain. Animals and people who drink  water from this source can contract bacteria and  diseases that are often carried in this water.
