it "surfs" on top of the asthenosphere's convection currents. we walk on it (it's the crust and the brittle portion of the upper mantle)
The lithosphere behaves elastically on time scales of thousands of years or greater. The lithosphere of Earth is comprised of the crust and a portion of the upper mantle.
The lithosphere is the outer layer of the earth's surface. It causes tectonic plates to move and create earthquakes and other geological events.
lithosphere supports all the life which exists on earth, wheather on lands or in Oceanside is used to grow crops.
it provides the power to tectonic plates to perform actions such as earthquake and volcanic activity
Fossil fuels
it is what we live on.
The difference between the core and the lithosphere is the core is on the top of the lithosphere and the lithosphere is on the bottom of the core
lithosphere.
division of lithosphere
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.
The crust is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper mantle. Therefore, there is no spatial distance between the lithosphere and the crust.
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.
The uppermost mantle and the crust makes the lithosphere.
The difference between the core and the lithosphere is the core is on the top of the lithosphere and the lithosphere is on the bottom of the core
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and uppermost hard, brittle mantle.

Lithosphere (apex)
Oceanic lithosphere is dense enough to be forced down into the mantle. Continental lithosphere is not.
whats an antonyms for lithosphere
