The lithosphere is the solid, rocky layer covering the entire surface of the planet, composed of the crust and the hard uppermost mantle, and reacts to stresses as a brittle solid. The lithosphere ranges in thickness from 50 - 200 km and is fragmented into tectonic plates with boundaries where plates collide, diverge, or grind past each other.
Lithosphere is the solid part of the Earth.
Like land,and crops.

∙ 12y agoThe lithosphere is that layer of the earth which behaves as an elastic brittle solid material composed of the crust and solid brittle portion of the upper mantle. Below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere which is the portion of the upper mantle which deforms in a ductile manner.

Why does oceanic lithosphere sink beneath convergent lithosphere at convergent boundaries?
As odd as it is to think of things this way, continental lithosphere is more buoyant than oceanic lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere is more dense.
Why does oceanic lithosphere sub duct while continental lithosphere does not?
Oceanic lithosphere is dense enough to be forced down into the mantle. Continental lithosphere is not.
What part of the egg is the Lithosphere?
What part in the egg is the lithosphere
How do you make the lithosphere?
you make the lithosphere with the mantle and the asthenophere.
What are interesting facts about the lithosphere?
The word Lithosphere means ball of stone in Greek.The Lithosphere was first found by a seismographThe lithosphere is made up of the crust and uppermost brittle mantle.
What is a real world connection for lithosphere?
The lithosphere is upper layer of the earth's mantle. It is therefore, a real part of the real planet that you live on!
What are the 4 spheres of your world?
Biosphere Atmosphere Lithosphere and Hydrosphere
Is the litosphere the same all over the world?
No the lithosphere is not the same all over the world.
What are different feature of the world?
there are four features they are lithosphere,hydrosphere,atmosphere and biosphere
Why does oceanic lithosphere sink beneath convergent lithosphere at convergent boundaries?
As odd as it is to think of things this way, continental lithosphere is more buoyant than oceanic lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere is more dense.
The crust and uppermost mantle make up the rigid outer layer of earth called the?
The uppermost mantle and the crust makes the lithosphere.
What is the difference between the core and the lithosphere?
The difference between the core and the lithosphere is the core is on the top of the lithosphere and the lithosphere is on the bottom of the core
What is the lithosphere of the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and uppermost hard, brittle mantle.
What includes the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust?
lithosphere.
What is the division of lithosphere?
division of lithosphere
What is the mechanics layer of earth that contains tectonic plates?
Lithosphere (apex)
Why does oceanic lithosphere sub duct while continental lithosphere does not?
Oceanic lithosphere is dense enough to be forced down into the mantle. Continental lithosphere is not.
