The lithosphere is the solid, rocky layer covering the entire surface of the planet, composed of the crust and the hard uppermost mantle, and reacts to stresses as a brittle solid. The lithosphere ranges in thickness from 50 - 200 km and is fragmented into tectonic plates with boundaries where plates collide, diverge, or grind past each other.
Lithosphere is the solid part of the Earth.
Like land,and crops.
The land part of the earth on the crust
What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
Is the lithosphere dense?
The density of Earth's lithosphere is 2.5 gm/cm^3
What Lithosphere is made of?
The lithosphere is composed of oceanic crust (mostly basalt)
What are the segments into which the lithosphere is divided?
The lithosphere is divided into what we call tectonic plates.
What is a real world connection for lithosphere?
The lithosphere is upper layer of the earth's mantle. It is therefore, a real part of the real planet that you live on!
What are the 4 spheres of your world?
Biosphere Atmosphere Lithosphere and Hydrosphere
What are different feature of the world?
there are four features they are lithosphere,hydrosphere,atmosphere and biosphere
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
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.
