Difference between Lithosphere and Asthenosphere
• The difference between lithosphere and Asthenosphere pertain to their compositions.
• While lithosphere is hard and rigid, Asthenosphere is a layer made up of molten rocks.
• Lithosphere stretches from the top of the earth’s crust down to first 100 kilometers while Asthenosphere lies beneath lithosphere
• Rocks are under severe pressure in Asthenosphere, whereas they face much less pressure in lithosphere.
• The mineral composition of lithosphere is varied as it contains more than 80 minerals whereas Asthenosphere is mainly comprised of silicates of iron and magnesium.
• The depth of the lithosphere is about 100 kilometers, whereas the depth of Asthenosphere is 400-700 kilometers.

Which statement about inheritance is true?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The correct answer is the third statement.

Explanation:

In humans, the males possess one X and one Y chromosome, while the females possess two X chromosomes. Thus, the female always donates X chromosome to the gamete. In any case, the female always generates a similar kind of gamete. While the male either pass X or the Y chromosome to the progeny.  

When the gamete with the X chromosome combines with the female gamete than the offspring would possess XX chromosomes and will be a female. On the other hand, when the gamete comprising the Y chromosome combines with the female gamete than the offspring would possess the XY chromosome and will be a male. Thus, it is the father who determines the gender of the offspring.

Arada [10]

Answer:

Deep within the Earth it is so hot that some rocks slowly melt and become a thick flowing substance called magma. Since it is lighter than the solid rock around it, magma rises and collects in magma chambers. Eventually, some of the magma pushes through vents and fissures to the Earth's surface
