In La Niña years, the normal trade winds along the equator became unusually strong, blowing warm water eastward. Along the coast of South Africa, current bring cold water to the surface in a process known as upwelling. How does this affect the weather patterns around South America? A. The upwelling adds to the humidity and increases storms.

B. The upwelling disrupts cloud formation, resulting in droughts.

C. The cold water from the upwelling causes more hurricanes.

D. The cold water from the upwelling causes drier than normal conditions.

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.
