Which statement describes a difference between the lower mantle and oceanic crust? A)The lower mantle is closer to Earth’s surface than the oceanic crust is.
B)The lower mantle is found closer to sea level than oceanic crust is.
C)The lower mantle experiences more pressure than oceanic crust does.
D)The lower mantle has a more tarry consistency than oceanic crust does.

any one of the statements could be an accurate comparison. but the statement that would define the correct choice and seal the deal is not even on the list:

"the visibilities of vector-x and vector-y in the drawing provided with the question are identical and nonexistent."

i don't understand is there any other way you can rephrase it plz let me know in the comments and i will do it.

explanation:

electric field is a function of 1/r^2

yes, the force per unit charge for a point charge is inverse square law.

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
