The lithosphere is composed of the brittle rock that forms the outer layer of the planet. The lithosphere is divided into plates which move independently from each other.

How does burning fossil fuels affect the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the rocky crust of the earth, Earth's surface. Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) has no real effect on the lithosphere, but has a very big effect on the atmosphere.
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.
Is the lithosphere solid liquid or plastic?
The asthenosphere is a flowing solid. It's sort of a liquid and a solid.
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
Is earths lithosphere a solid liquid or gas?
Lithosphere is solid part of earth .
The envelope of gas surrounding the earth is called the?
lithosphere
Is lithosphere the layer of gas surrounding the earth?
No, the layer of gas surrounding the earth is called the atmosphere. The lithosphere is composed of the crust and the solid and brittle portion of the upper mantle.

What might happen if there is too much carbon dioxide in the lithosphere?
When too much Carbon dioxide is present in the lithosphere, the surface will heat up. Not only will the lithosphere be effected, but the hydrosphere will be affected more compared to the damage caused in the lithosphere due to the gas Carbon dioxide.The worse part is that many natural calamities occur when the Carbon Dioxide in the lithosphere loses its balanceFact:The amount of Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is normally 0.04%. But eventually it has grown.
What is the biggest mountain on Saturn?
Here are no montains in Saturn, because Saturn is a Jovian planet, a gas giant, with no lithosphere.
Does Earth's elements stay in the same areas of the lithosphere hydrosphere or atmosphere where they originated when the Earth was formed?
the atmosphere is gas emission from when ground release toxic gases, hydrosphere is tsunamis, lithosphere is the shaking of the earth and avalanches.
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.
