Which statement describes a difference between the lower mantle and oceanic crust? the lower mantle is closer to earth’s surface than oceanic crust is. the lower mantle is found farther below sea level than oceanic crust is. the lower mantle experiences more pressure than oceanic crust does. the lower mantle has a more tarry consistency than oceanic crust does.

The lower mantle is composed mainly of magnesium and iron-bearing silicates. This include high-pressure equivalents of olivine and pyroxene. The lower mantle is dynamic since it churns in slow convective motions with hotter materials rising up and cooler materials sinking down. Through the said process, the earths internal heat is gradually released. Aside from being the driving force of horizontal plate motion, the mantle convection is present during temporary superplumes which may originate from the deep layers of the earth near the core.

Meanwhile, the oceanic crust is found in the outermost layer of the earth's litosphere which is found under the oceans. It is formed at the oceanic ridges' spreading centers, which occurs at divergent plate boundaries. The oceanic crust differs from continental crust because it is thinner, denser, younger and it is of different chemical composition.

The difference between the lower mantle and the oceanic crust is first their respective locations, pressure and temperature-- the pressure and temperature increases with depth in the earth this the mantle is more hot and under great pressure than the crust.

Therefore, the answer is The lower mantle experiences more pressure than oceanic crust does

(C)

Explanation: The lower mantle experiences more pressure than oceanic crust does.

organisms that are both used in toothpaste as well as cause malaria are protista and monera.

prophase: we can observe the chromosomes to coil up and condense. they become visible. nuclear membrane and envelope disintigrate.s

metaphase: chromosomes align at the center, the metaphase plate. spindle fibers attach to centromeres of the sister chromatids. they meet at kinetochores.

anaphase: sister chromatids are pulled towards each opposing centromere, set on different poles.

telophase: chromosomes are now clustered up only on either sides of the cell. nuclear membranes reform, and a new cell wall forms along the cell plate. this will lead to cytokinesis, the process that divides the cell membrane and forms the cell wall.
