The has a negative charge. The is smaller than the other particles and can be found outside of the , which is another name for the center of the atom. In the center, there are and . The have no charge but weigh a lot compared to the . The proton has a charge. In order to get the atomic mass, add the number of and together

The electron has a negative charge. The electron is smaller than the other particles and can be found outside of the nucleus, which is another name for the center of the atom. In the center, there are protons and neutrons. The neutron have no charge but weigh a lot compared to the electron. The proton has a positive charge. In order to get the atomic mass, add the number of protons and neutrons together.

(because electrons weigh so little it dosnt make a difference)

answer; the correct answer is (beta)

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.
