How many large lithosphere plates exist?
nine
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.
How is lithosphere divided and how many plates were there?
Tectonic plates, 3 plates
What part of the egg is the Lithosphere?
What part in the egg is the lithosphere
What percent of the earth is the lithosphere?
20%
What layer composes 80 percent of the lithosphere?
Mantle
What are some facts about the earth's lithosphere?
More lithosphere facts:The lithosphere is the solid outer layer of the planetIt is 70-100 kilometers thickIt "floats" on top of a warmer, non-rigid layerThe temperature beneath the lithosphere can reach 1,000 degrees CelsiusThere is about 10 percent molten material at the lower portions of the lithosphere
What layer of the earth composes 80 percent of the lithosphere's volume?
mantle.
How many km is the Lithosphere?
The lithosphere can be 8 km to about 65km in depth.
What is the Most abundant metallic element in the lithosphere?
The metal that is most abundant in the lithosphere is iron. Over 5.6 percent of Earth's mass is comprised of iron.

What kinds of tectonic plates are there?
There are two kinds of plates- continental lithosphere and oceanic lithosphere. There are many types of plate boundaries, like convergent, divergent, transform, and more. Continental lithosphere is granite and oceanic is basalt.
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
