Which of the following statements is TRUE of the lithosphere? The lithosphere is composed of the inner portion of the mantle and the outer core.
O The lithosphere is composed only of outer mantle material.
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and the uppermost portion of the mantle.
O The lithosphere is composed only of igneous rock.

The lithosphere is composed of the crust and the uppermost portion of the mantle.

Explanation:

Earth is divided into several layers, all of which have their own unique properties that define them as such. The top-most layer is the lithosphere, below it is the mantle, and at the central part of the planet is the core. The lithosphere is the layer on the surface and closes to it, is composed of the crust and the upper-most, solid part of the mantle.

The lithosphere is solid, with its surface being composed of rock. It is the only part of Earth where there is life and where multiple different spheres interact with each other. What happens on the lithosphere and the conditions on it though is dependent on the activity of the layers below, as they are the ones that have the heat and pressure needed to create the biggest and most important processes.

since there isn't any suggested answers i will give you the reason and hopefully you can figure it

south africa, or rather all of africa, has not been in the location in which it is nowadays throughout the geological past. after the super-continent pangaea started to break apart, gondwanaland, in which was africa, moved further south, and parts of it came to be very close to the south pole. because the climate in this part of the world is very cold due to the very dispersed sun rays in there, what is now south africa, started to freeze, and the conditions were right for the formation of glaciers. the glaciers existed up until the period when gondwanaland started to break apart and what is now africa started to move towards north, sp it warmed up and the glaciers melted.
