from google:
"The Earth gets hotter as one travels towards the core, known as the geothermal gradient. Geothermal gradient is the amount the Earth's temperature increases with depth, indicating heat flowing from the Earth's warm interior to its surface. On average, the temperature increases by about 25°C for every kilometer of depth"

A theory that states that Earth's <span>surface is made of rigid slabs of rock, or </span>plates<span>, that move with respect to each other. Alfred Wegener </span>could not explain<span> how </span>continents <span>drifted. The </span>theory of plate tectonics does explain<span> this and states that each </span>plate <span>moves over Earth's hot and semi-plastic mantle.
And the answer is the C. Of continents despite the dense oceanic.</span>
C. because the water erodes the rock away because it's jus sitting there gettig moist...like think about cereal wen it jus sits there in milk it gets moist and soggy
