As you have learned, there are a lot of factors that make a marine animal suited to its environment. For this assignment, you are going to design a new marine species and suppose that you are introducing it into a marine ecosystem. Imagine that you have been tasked with introducing this species to a group of fellow marine scientists. You can either do a presentation using presentation software or create an encyclopedia entry for your species. Both should have an illustration of the species and contain the following information:
A physical description of the species
A description of the requirements for the habitat
What the species eats
Any natural predators for the species
Adaptations that allow the species to compete in the environment
The population cycle for the species

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
