Nonnative species can cause serious problems with marine ecosystem biodiversity. the graph shows a summary of the different methods by which invasive species reach new locations based on united states geological survey data as of 2016. based on this information, what recommendation could be made to reduce introductions? methods should be put in place to reduce the ability of species from escaping from captivity and establishing themselves in new locations. people should take extra care when setting up a home fish tank to be certain that all organisms in it will be properly maintained so that the animals remain healthy and diseases are not spread. science should more closely study the genetics of the different organisms used to prevent mixing of dna. ships should install some form of cleansing mechanisms before releasing their ballast water during transport and should be checked for unintended cargo.

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.
