Is the total amount of lithosphere formed on the earth is about equal to the amount destroyed?

Yes because according to the laws of conservation of matter, it is a continuous cycle of formation and destruction, and the system is self contained, meaning that over time the amount of lithosphere is not going down, but rather cycling.

What forms lithosphere?
The lithosphere was formed over a vast expanse of time as the outer skin of the earth solidified from magma.
How are earth's materials continually being formed and destroyed?

What parts of earth's structure combine to form the lithosphere?
The layer just below Earth's crust is the mantle. It is the thickest layer, and is composed of flowing rock material. The solid upper part of the mantle joins with the crust to form the lithosphere
What can the movement of two plates in the earth's lithosphere?
new crust will be formed as the plates move away from each other.
What earth layer is above the lithosphere?
The Earth layer known as the lithosphere consists of the crust and uppermost mantle. There is no solid layer above the lithosphere.

In which part of the earth are diamonds most often formed?
the mantle and the crust, in the lithosphere.
What comprises the lithosphere?
The lithosphere outermost part of any rocky planet. The earth's lithosphere is comprised of the mantle and upper crust. The lithosphere is formed of plates that fit together, and at times move and shift, causing earthquakes.
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.
Faults can form in which layer of the earth?
Faults are formed at the outer solid layers of the Earth. They are developed within the earths crust or Lithosphere.

Which is thicker the earth's crust or the lithosphere?
the lithosphere because the earth's crust is the thinest layer of the earth so by process and elimination lithosphere has to be the answer...
What layer of the Earth makes up the tectonic plates and what layer are the continents sliding on?
The continents of the Earth are sliding through the asthenosphere. This is the viscous part of the mantle on which the plates of the lithosphere sit.
