Answer:

There are four layers of the Earth, including Inner Core, Outer Core, mantle, and Crust. Each layer has its characteristics because of its temperature and formation.

The inner core is solid with iron and other metal deposit in it. The outer core is liquid, while the mantle is composed of silicate rocks. The crust is the outer layer of the earth, consist of different types of rocks.

The earth was able to develop a layer structure because of the climatic change it had millions of years ago, where the hardest metal reached to its core.

¿Por qué los mares cerrados, como el Mediterráneo, presentan mayores niveles de contaminación?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Los mares cerrados, como el Mar Mediterráneo, presentan mayores niveles de contaminación porque son entera o mayoritariamente formados por cuencas endorreicas, las cuales no tienen salida directa hacia el océano. De esta manera, las corrientes marítimas no desagotan sus residuos en el océano, sino que continúan retroalimentándose de manera cícilica, con lo que el conjunto de desechos que viaja en dichas corrientes se queda constantemente dentro de la misma cuenca.

Why is the lithosphere the most important component of our environment.
Nitella [24]

The lithosphere is the outermost sphere of the solid Earth, consisting of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The lithosphere is largely important because it is the area that the biosphere (the living things on earth) inhabit and live upon.

If it weren't for the tectonic plates of the lithosphere there would be no change on Earth. Tectonic plates shift due to convection currents lower down in the mantle, and this can cause the formation of mountains, the eruption of volcanoes, and earthquakes. While this can be devastating in the short-run, long term benefits are the formation of new plant life, the creation of new habitats and encouraging adaptation.  

It is also the source of almost all of our resources, and is rich in elements like iron, aluminium, calcium, copper and magnesium, which humans have used for tools and machinery for millennia.  

When the biosphere interacts with the lithosphere, organic compounds can become buried in the crust, and dug up as oil, coal or natural gas that we can use for fuels.  

In combination with the atmosphere and hydrosphere (water), it provides a stable source of nutrients for botanical life, which produce glucose that higher organisms use for sustenance.
