You are assigned a research project on a parasitic species. You choose the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus), You discover that juvenile sea lampreys attach themselves to the outside of fish and 'rasp' away the scalesand skin in order to obtain nutrition from the fish's bodily fluids. You are suprised to find out that sea lampreys can feed on more than ten different fish species from several families. You also learn that adult lampreys die after spawning whileeggs hatch into a nonparasitic larvae that inhabit small sand burrows in stream beds. Based on all these findings, what terms would you use in your research report to describe the sea lamprey

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.
