How is a lithospheric plate like a line of moving grocery carts?
I guess because they are both a straight line and they each move back and forward
What lithospheric plate is the largest?
The last person to answer was a complete and total idiot. The correct answer is the Pacific Plate.
How often does the lithospheric plate move?
annually
What is the study of lithospheric plates?
plate tectonics
What does a plate consist of?
Tectonic plate consist of lithospheric mantle overlain by crustal
What is the study of lithospheric plates called?
The study of lithospheric plates is called plate tectonics. It focuses on the movement and interactions of the Earth's lithospheric plates, which form the outer shell of the Earth. Plate tectonics help explain processes like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
What does a tectonic plate consist of?
Tectonic plate consist of lithospheric mantle overlain by crustal
What is the name of the lithospheric plate closest to California?
Part of California are on the North American Plate and parts are on the Pacific Plate.
What is the process of the lithospheric plate descending under another?
Subduction.
How thick in km is the lithospheric plate?
The thickness of the lithospheric plate can vary, but on average it ranges from 100 to 250 kilometers in thickness. The thickness can change depending on factors such as tectonic activity and location.
What would be expected to result from a collision between a continental lithospheric plate and a oceanic lithospheric plate?
Typically the less dense continental plate would stay afloat while the denser oceanic plate would be submerged below. This can result in volcanic eruptions at the subduction zone due to oceanic crust undergoing increased pressure and temperatures as it descends below the continental crust.
Section of the lithosphere that slowly moves over the asthenosphere?
A lithospheric plate.
