Answer:

The correct answers are options B. "It is between 25 and 70 km thick", C. "It is made of all types of rocks" and E. "It contains silicate minerals high in sodium, potassium, aluminum, and calcium".

Explanation:

In Geology, the continental crust is defined as the layer of the Earth that allowed the formation of the continents. This layer is made of all types of rocks, including igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. This layer is also considered silica-rich, or felsic, because of its high content of silicate minerals. Regarding the thickness of continental crust, it is between 25 to 70 km thick. This is considerable thick considering that oceanic crust which barely reaches 10 km thick.

) The stem of a plant is growing upward while the roots grow downward. Which of these stimuli correctly describes the response o
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''gravity.''

Explanation:

Tropisms are movements or changes in posture that a living being normally makes in response to a continuous environmental stimulus. Plants have hormones that respond to the gravitational impulse of our planet. Gravity deeply influences their growth and development (positive geotropism) and plants have been found to bend in response to gravity due to redistribution of the plant hormone auxin at the root tip, so that auxin is redistributed to the underside of a root that grows when it is rotated 90 degrees, the stems will still grow upward, away from the center of the Earth (negative geotropism), just as roots will always grow in the reverse direction (positive geotropism).

What is the benefit of composting?
andre [41]
Composting is a form of waste that uses organic materials to put into plants in order to help them grow and flourish. It saves energy, and it doesn't give off many gasses to help the Earth. 
However, it is ineffective on the large scale and cannot be mass produced to help Earth instantly because of the large amounts of inorganic materials.
