It primarily forms the upper part of the crust and is composed mainly of granitic rocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SIMA lies beneath the SIAL layer and is rich in silicon (Si) and magnesium (Ma). It forms the lower part of the crust and is mainly made up of basaltic rocks, denser than those in the SIAL layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"correct-answer\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Correct Answer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"option-a\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option A:\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The lithosphere is the rigid, outermost layer of the Earth, comprising the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. It is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath, playing a key role in geological processes like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and continental drift. SIAL and SIMA are layers of the Earth\u2019s crust, with SIAL found beneath the continents and SIMA located beneath the ocean floor. Together, they extend to a depth of about 60 kilometers below the Earth\u2019s surface, making this the correct option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"option-b\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option B:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The hydrosphere includes all the water present on Earth\u2014in liquid, solid, and gaseous forms\u2014such as oceans, rivers, lakes, glaciers, groundwater, and water vapor in the atmosphere.
