Question

Which statement correctly compares the thicknesses of Earth’s layers?

a.Earth’s mantle is thinner than its oceanic crust.
b.Earth’s outer core is thicker than its mantle.
c.Earth’s continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.
d.Earth’s lithosphere is thinner than its asthenosphere.

Answer 1

Your answer would be D. Earth's lithosphere is thinner than its asthenosphere

All you need to do is look at each statement, look at the picture, and compare the 2 parts it is comparing

Hope this helps

Answer 2

The correct answer is, d. Earth’s lithosphere is thinner than its asthenosphere.

The Earth's lithosphere is 100km while astehnosphere is 660km so this statement stands true.

Other statements are false like Earth’s mantle is thinner than its oceanic crust as Earth’s mantle is around 3k km while its oceanic crust is just 5km.

Also, Earth’s outer core is thicker than its mantle and Earth’s continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere is false as well.
