What state of matter is represented by Earth's lithosphere?
Earth's lithosphere, its rigid outer shell, generally represents the solid state of matter.
What results when divergence occurs in the oceanic lithosphere?
A Mid-Ocean-Ridge develops leading to volcanism and the creation of new oceanic crust.
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.
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 happening to create convection currents in the mantle?
in the asthenosphere, which is in the lower part of the mantle, magma churns in a convection current which is like a cycle. Tectonic plates sit above this movement in the lithosphere. This is what causes continents to move little by little. Hot magma rises and at the lithosphere, it cools and falls because it is now denser. This is like a circular movement, or convection current.
Is weather the current state of the lithosphere?
no
Weather is the current state of the lithosphere true or false?
false
What is the state of matter of lithosphere?
Solid
What is the state of the Lithosphere?
solid
What state of mater is lithosphere?
Solid
What state of matter is lithosphere?
Solid
How do convection currents in the mantle effect lithosphere movement?
Convection currents rotate in the Lithosphere, which causes the surface of the Earth to move.
What is the state of balance of the lithosphere called?
isostasy
What type of current is responsible for the movement of earth's lithosphere plates?
