Question

Cross section of layers of the Earth. Inner core equals 1,216 kilometers; Outer core equals 2,270 kilometers. Mantle equals 2,885 kilometers, and consists of lower and upper mantle. Upper mantle is made up by: Asthenosphere at 660 kilometers, Lithosphere at 100 kilometers, Oceanic crust at 5 kilometers, Continental crust at 30 to 40 kilometers. Which statement correctly compares the thicknesses of Earth's layers? Earth's mantle is thinner than its oceanic crust. Earth's outer core is thicker than its mantle. Earth's continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere. Earth's lithosphere is thinner than its asthenosphere.

Answer 2

Earth's lithosphere is thinner than its asthenosphere.

Explanation:

The statement that correctly compares the thickness of the earth's layers is that the earth's lithosphere is thinner than its asthenosphere.

Given thickness;

• Inner core equals 1,216 kilometers;

• Outer core equals 2,270 kilometers.

• Mantle equals 2,885 kilometers, and consists of lower and upper mantle.

• Upper mantle is made up by: Asthenosphere at 660 kilometers, Lithosphere at 100 kilometers,

• Oceanic crust at 5 kilometers,

• Continental crust at 30 to 40 kilometers.

We see that the asthenosphere is thicker at 600km compared to the lithosphere  at 100km
