You're standing on it. The lithosphere is the crust and upper mantle of the earth.

Why moon does not have lithosphere?

The moon does have a lithosphere, it is just different from Earth's lithosphere. The moon's lithosphere is much thinner and not as actively tectonically active as Earth's. It is composed of solid, rigid rock that overlies the moon's mantle, similar to Earth's lithosphere.

Does the oceanic lithosphere get older or younger?

Oceanic lithosphere gets older as it moves away from the mid-ocean ridges where new lithosphere is formed. This process, known as seafloor spreading, causes older lithosphere to be pushed further from the ridge, resulting in a gradient of lithosphere age with the oldest being farthest from the ridges.


How far is it to the lithosphere from the crust?

The lithosphere is part of the Earth's crust and uppermost mantle; it includes the crust itself. So, the distance to the lithosphere is essentially the same as the thickness of the crust, which varies from about 5 to 75 kilometers (3 to 46 miles) beneath the oceans and continents.


What is erosion and how does it affect the lithosphere?

Erosion is the process of wearing away rocks and soil by natural forces like water, wind, and ice. It affects the lithosphere by breaking down and carrying away sediment, leading to the shaping of landscapes and the formation of features like valleys and canyons. Over time, erosion can alter the surface of the lithosphere and contribute to the movement of material across the Earth's crust.


What causes the oceanic lithosphere to move away from the mid-ocean ridge?

it is caused by convection currents


Why does the lithosphere thicken away from the ridge crest?

Cooling as rock moves away from the ridge crest causes the rock to become increasingly rigid.
