What else can I help you with?
What is the athenosphere and where is it located?
In the uppermantle below the lithosphere.
What do the plates on the lithosphere float on?
the ductile athenosphere.
What do plates of the lithosphere float on?
the ductile athenosphere.
How is lithosphere different from the athenosphere?
It is different because they are not the same
True or false magma forms in the lithosphere?
False. It forms in the Athenosphere!!
What zone meets the earths crust?
the mantle also known as the athenosphere the crust is also known as the lithosphere
The crust and uppermost mantle make up the rigid outer layer of earth called the?
The uppermost mantle and the crust makes the lithosphere.
Name 2 layers of earth in which convection currents take place?
athenosphere and lithosphere
Is the oceanic lithosphere thick and brittle?
Yes, the oceanic lithosphere is relatively thinner and more brittle compared to the continental lithosphere. This is due to the cooling and solidifying processes that occur at mid-ocean ridges, which result in a thinner and more rigid lithosphere in oceanic regions.
Is the lithosphere thinner under the oceanic or continental crust?
The lithosphere is generally thinner under oceanic crust compared to continental crust. Oceanic lithosphere is typically around 5-10 kilometers thick, while continental lithosphere can be up to 200 kilometers thick. This difference is due to variations in temperature and composition between the two types of crust.
How is the lithoshpere related to the crust?
the crus is relate dto the lithosphere becaus is the thinner
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.
