Answer 2

The difference between the lower mantle and the oceanic crust is described as follows: c)The lower mantle is subjected to stronger pressure than the oceanic crust.

Explanation:

The lower mantle experiences more pressure than oceanic crust does.

• The continental crust is thicker and less dense than the oceanic crust. Continental crust is thicker and denser than oceanic crust.
• The lower mantle is closer to the surface than the marine crust.
• The lower mantle is subjected to greater pressure than the oceanic crust.
• The density of continental crust is low, whereas the density of oceanic crust is higher.
• The continental crust is thicker than the oceanic crust, which is thinner.
• Continental crust floats freely on magma, but oceanic crust floats only occasionally.
• Continental crust is unable to recycle, however oceanic crust can.

The lower mantle is closer to Earth’s surface than oceanic crust is

• The mantle is the main solid interior of the Earth. Between Earth's dense, super-heated core and its thin outer layer, the crust, is the mantle.
• The mantle, which is largely solid rocks and minerals but punctuated by pliable patches of semi-solid magma, lies under the crust.
• A heated, dense metal core resides at the Earth's core

The lower mantle is found closer to sea level than oceanic crust is.

• The lower mantle and the oceanic crust differ in several ways, including their different positions, pressure, and temperature.
• Because pressure and temperature rise with depth in the earth, the mantle is hotter and under greater pressure than the crust.
• The stated assertion is incorrect.
