What kind of planet would you expct to have the thickest lithosphere?
Earth and Venus because they have the most internal heat
The Earth's is ductile overall tending to flow very slowly and deform in a manner.?
The Earth's lithosphere is rigid overall, and its upper portion tends to deform in a brittle manner.
What layer of the earth is the least viscous?
The lithosphere is the least viscous because it is brittle.
Is lithosphere solid but has the ability to flow?
Yes
What is the Asthenosphere definition?
The upper layer of the earth's mantle, below the lithosphere, in which there is relatively low resistance to plastic flow and convection is thought to occur.
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...
Is the lithosphere solid but able to flow?
The lithosphere is solid and does not flow, but is carried on top of the asthenosphere.
Earth's lithosphere is unique compared to other planets because it contains?
because the earth contains soil
What best describes the physical nature of the earth's lithosphere and the asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is rigid and commonly deforms in a brittle manner; the asthenosphere tends to flow slowly and deform in a plastic manner.
Why is the lithosphere part of earth's crust?
Because stone floats on metal.
Why when and where do earthquakes strike?
It is when two plates in the earth because of the release of stress or tension in the earth's lithosphere.

Is the crust of the earth part of the lithosphere?
Yes, the crust of the Earth is part of the lithosphere
Where is the lithosphere locate?
The lithosphere is located at the surface of Earth.The lithosphere is the first layer of the mechanical version of the Earth's layers. The lithosphere is the outer most layer of the Earth.
The Earth's is ductile overall tending to flow very slowly and deform in a manner.?
The Earth's lithosphere is rigid overall, and its upper portion tends to deform in a brittle manner.
What layer of the earth is the least viscous?
The lithosphere is the least viscous because it is brittle.
