Q2) TRUE OR FALSE
1955
a) The lithosphere is the solid surface layer of the Earth
b) The equator passes through Asia.
c) The oceans and seas cover more than 70% of the Earth's surface
d) Waves are caused by the Moon's gravity
e) Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) True

b) True

c) True

d) True

e) True

Explanation:

a) True

reason :The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of the Earth. The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below.

b) True

reason: The equator crossed through Colombia, Brazil, and Ecuador in South America. In Africa, it crosses through Sao tome and Principe, Gabon, the republic of the Congo, the DRC, Uganda, Kenya, and Somalia. In Asia, it crosses through the Maldives and Indonesia

c) True

reason :The ocean covers more than 70 percent of the surface of our planet

d) True

reason:The gravitational pull of the sun and moon on the earth also causes waves. These waves are tides or, in other words, tidal waves.

e). True

reason:Air molecules colliding with a surface cause atmospheric pressure. ... Atmospheric pressure decreases as the height of a surface above ground level increases. This is because, as the altitude increases: the number of air molecules decreases.
