<span>As water in the oceans cools down, it tends to Sink
b)Sink
Because when water becomes warm due to the heat of the sun it floats to the surface of the ocean and cool water is in the bottom</span>
The options for the question are:
a) Core
b) Mantle
c) Asthenosphere
d) Lithosphere
The correct answer is Lithosphere. Lithosphere is defined as hard outer part of the Earth that contains Crust and somewhat upper portion of the Mantle. The Earth's crust is made up Tectonic Plates which are in constant state of motion. So from the given options, Lithosphere is the correct answer.
This is a very good question, so I'm going to thank you for asking it in the first place. I would like to first tell you one amazing thing about the Lechuguilla caves were that they weren't formed like other average caves, up to down, when acidic water drips, and forms caves below us. The story of Lechuguilla was that oil from reservoirs not very far away under ground, and a chemical compound by the name of Hydrogen Sulfide gas piled up in there, and the culmination of the molecules underground, it created, well, a very, very strong acid. This is known as sulfuric acid. What the sulfuric acid did was pound through layers of the limestone existing underground. And what this did was form the Lechuguilla caves. And like at the beginning, the unique thing about the Lechuguilla was that this process made it form bottom to up, instead of top to bottom.
