Answer:

<u>Yes , obviously</u>

Explanation:

  • The lithosphere or the land sphere are the plates that are surface layers of the earth. And this lithosphere is made up of Silicon and Aluminium components. The Lithosphere is divided into upper and lower parts by the thick layers of sedimentary rocks.
  • 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.

ROCKS AND MINERALS
vodomira [7]

Geologists have recently determined that the minerals goethite and hematite exist in abundance on Mars, sure signs of the presence of water (see Figure 1 for a picture). None of those geologists have been to Mars, of course, but the unmanned rovers Spirit and Opportunity have. These rovers are equipped with three mass spectrometers, each of which is capable of determining the chemical composition of a solid with a high degree of accuracy. With such a precise chemical analysis in hand, geologists on Earth had no problem identifying the minerals.

A mineral is defined in part by a specific chemical composition. In theory, therefore, it is always easy to identify a mineral, if you can determine the chemical composition with a mass spectrometer like the Mars rovers. In reality, however, even if you are looking at rocks on Earth, determining the exact chemical composition of a substance involves significant time preparing the sample and sophisticated laboratory equipment (and often significant money). Luckily, it is usually unnecessary to go to such lengths, because there are much easier ways that require little more than a magnifying lens and a penknife.

<u>Option-(E): It is the best option to choose from.</u>

<u> Lithogenous sediments:</u> "Those particles or sediments which are formed by the weathering process of rocks, and mostly from the events occurring in the oceanic volcano."

<u>Vdiatom ooze:</u> It is not a lithogenous sediment, as it is a bio-genic pelagic sediment found deep down in the ocean bed.

Explanation:

<u>As Examples of lithogenous sediment includes; </u>

  • volcanogenic sediments,
  • glacial deposits,
  • illite clays,
  • And beach sands.
