  • It constitutes of hard, rigid and outer skins of earth. On lithosphere, the entire biosphere that's the life sphere is based. There are two types of lithosphere i.e oceanic and continental the oceanic has a <u>density of 2.9 grams,  and crust on land has 2.7 grams</u>.
  • Composition Of oceanic lithosphere is of mafic and ultramafic. The asthenosphere is a layer that forms underneath this zone and is in liquid molten forms. This also divided into three zones the upper zone, transition zone, and lower zone.
  • Melting of rock mass takes place in this layer as it has a depth of 2900 km and the boundary is defined by stress zone that deforms easily and has elasticity. Most of the earthquake waves and lava plums come out of this zone. It's composed of heavier metals like Iron and Aluminium, nickel, etc.

If a 100-year flood has recently occurred along a river, it is now less likely to experience a similar event in the near term.
Temka [501]

The statement is correct.

When a flood is giving a time-bonding term, such as the 100-year flood, in this statement, it means that it has been noticed that the floods from the particular river occur on approximately that much of a time span.

If there has been a flood recently, than it most probably means that there isn't going to be a flooding caused by that river for the foreseeable future.

Now, there's always exceptions, as the climate patters are changing constantly, and there's always surprises, but in general, in lot of regions of the world, there has been noticed a certain consistency in some natural occurrences.
