What else can I help you with?
What is the description off the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the solid outer section of Earth, which includes Earth's crust, and the underlying cool, dense, and rigid upper part of the mantle.
Which earth layer does the following describe this layer along with the crust forms the solid tectonic plates?
The layer that fits this description is the lithosphere. The lithosphere is comprised of the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust, and it is broken into tectonic plates that move on the Earth's surface.
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 lithosphere of the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and uppermost hard, brittle mantle.
What is the mechanics layer of earth that contains tectonic plates?
Lithosphere (apex)
The crust and upper mantle are called the?
The crust and the upper mantle are a geological part of the earth called the lithosphere. There are 2 parts of the lithosphere: the oceanic lithosphere, which is made up of land underneath water, and the continental lithosphere, which is the the part made of just land. The lithosphere lies on top of the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is made up of tectonic plates, which are pieces of land floating on the lithosphere.
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 is an antonym for lithosphere?
whats an antonyms for lithosphere
What is a brief description of plate tectonics?
A brief description of plate tectonics would be the theory that parts of Earth's lithosphere are always in motion, driven by the convection currents inside the mantle.
Why does oceanic lithosphere sink beneath continental lithosphere at convergent boundary's?
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 sinks beneath continental 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.
