  • 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.

What are some of the benefits humans receive from altering their environment? Write your answer in a paragraph of at least five
Stella [2.4K]
From altering the environment humans receive the benefit of multiple resources, such as wood which they receive from cutting down trees. Deforestation gives humans the benefit of having more land accessible for the public, as trees taken down by deforestation allows for humans to build public locations such as parks, and provides land for houses to be built on. Overall, altering the environment gives humans the benefit of having more resources, along with land that they are able to use for housing and livestock farms, which once again provide more resources for the public.
