Answer:

A. The astenosphere is denser than the lithosphere

Explanation:

The theory of isostasy is a theory that suggest that the layers of Earth are arranged in accordance to their density. It is a theory that usually refers to the mantle and crust. The mantle (astenosphere) is denser than the crust (lithosphere), so the crust floats on top of it, depending on its density, with he continental crust being higher, while the oceanic crust being lower. The two forces that are responsible for this are the gravity and buoyancy.

How are nutrients in a tree recycled in the deciduous forest ecosystem?
Mamont248 [21]
As you may know, trees are used to make things like furniture, cottages and paper. Unused paper is then 'thrown in the recycling bin' and recycled (go through the same system to be reused). Deciduous tree leaves specifically, fall off in Autumn so the sticks, trunk, and remains of the tree can be used to make products with the nutrients in the wood. I think this is part of an ecosystem - hope I help! :D

Which of the following is true about coastal breezes?
9966 [12]

Answer:

They can blow from one direction in the morning, and from the opposite direction in the evening, and they are caused from differences in temperature of the land and the ocean.

Explanation:

The coastal breezes are breezes that occur near the coastlines. The general rule for the direction of the wind implies here as well as in any other place in the world, the wind blows from an area with higher air pressure toward an area with lower air pressure. When it comes to the coastal regions, because they have two contrasting landscapes, the wind changes direction during the day.

The land and the water have different properties, with the land heating up much faster and cooling off much faster, while the water heats and cools off slowly. This leads to larger oscillations in the temperature on land and with it larger oscillations in air pressure, while the temperature oscillations in the water are small and with it, the air pressure has much lower oscillation. When the land heats up, the wind blows from the ocean toward land because the air pressure is higher above the water, but when the land is cooler, the wind blows from the land toward the ocean because the air pressure is higher above the land.
