Study the image of Earth’s layers. Cross section of layers of the Earth. Inner core equals 1,216 kilometers; Outer core equals 2,270 kilometers. Mantle equals 2,885 kilometers, and consists of lower and upper mantle. Upper mantle is made up by: Asthenosphere at 660 kilometers, Lithosphere at 100 kilometers, Oceanic crust at 5 kilometers, Continental crust at 30 to 40 kilometers. Which statement correctly compares the thicknesses of Earth’s layers? Earth’s mantle is thinner than its oceanic crust. Earth’s outer core is thicker than its mantle. Earth’s continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere. Earth’s lithosphere is thinner than its asthenosphere.

Why might a single rock layer exhibit different types of sedimentary rocks within it? view available hint(s) why might a single rock layer exhibit different types of sedimentary rocks within it? such a rock layer, termed a facies, when traced laterally represents a variety of depositional environments that formed in a sequence over time. such a rock layer, termed a facies, when traced laterally represents a single depositional environment that formed over time. such a rock layer, termed a facies, when traced vertically represents a variety of depositional environments that formed at the same time across a broad area. such a rock layer, termed a facies, when traced laterally represents a variety of depositional environments that formed at the same time across a broad area. such a rock layer, termed a facies, when traced vertically represents a variety of depositional environments that formed in a sequence over time.
