Which two spheres interact when a glacier erodes a rock?
Which two spheres interact when a glacier erodes rock
Rigid blocks of earths crust and upper mantel?
There is no specific term for such a general block. "Lithospheric block" would be acceptable, but it would be best to describe exactly what you mean by it.
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.
What is a lithoshphere?
The lithosphere, Greek for "rocky sphere," is the outermost shell of the Earth. It is a relatively thin layer, 50-100 km thick under the oceans, 150 km thick on the continents. This website.... http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-lithosphere.htm ....includes a heap of information :D
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 are the parts of the lithosphere called?
The parts of the Lithosphere are the crust, mantel and core.
What is the lithosphere moved by?
The lithosphere, (The "gooey" part of the mantel that is between the crust) Is moved by convection currents.
What is called the crust And the upper mantle called?
lithosphere
How are the lithosphere and asthenosphere similar?
lithosephere is the uppermost part of a mantel and the mantel and the crust together and the asthenosphere is less riggid
Part of mantel below lithosphere?
i don't know that's why im on here
What are the layers of the mantel?
-from top to bottom- Lithosphere Asthenosphere Outer core Inner Core
What is the uppermost mantel make up the rigid outer layer of earth called?
lithosphere
What is a thin outer shell of the earth consisting of the crust and the ridge upper mantel?
CRUST (lithosphere)
How do the asthenophere and the lithosphere interact?
I'm stuck on it too!
What are the layers under the earth?
There is the crust. Then the mantel which consists of the lithosphere, the asthenosphere, and the mesosphere. Then last there is the outer and inner core.
How does the Biosphere interact with the Lithosphere?
the lithosphere is what the biosphere lives on and if there was no lithosphere the biosphere would die. the biosphere is what the lithosphere needs to survive. the bodies of dead matter decomposes to make the lithosphere able to make more biomatter for the biosphere.
How the biosphere and the lithosphere interact with one another through the hydrosphere?
this is bull shitt
