question 15 (5 points)
which layer of earth includes earths surface?

Explanation:

Analyze physical processes creating Earth's features

The physical processes that create most of Earth's physical features, including mountains, are driven by the movement of lithospheric plates, which is known as plate tectonics.

Identify non-cultural elements

Language families, religion, and social systems are human-created aspects of culture. Climate is a natural, physical geographic element, not a cultural one.

Evaluate absolute location statement

"South of London" describes a position relative to another landmark (London), which makes it a relative location, not an absolute location (which requires precise coordinates like latitude and longitude). Thus, the statement is false.

Locate the doldrums

The doldrums, or Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), is a low-pressure area characterized by calm, windless weather located near the Equator.

Identify the layer containing Earth's surface

The outermost solid layer of Earth that includes the surface is the crust.
