What is the difference between the core and 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
What includes the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust?
lithosphere.
What is the division of lithosphere?
division of lithosphere
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.
How far is it to the lithosphere from the crust?
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.
plants found in lithosphere?
The plants that live on the lithosphere include mineral based plants and the lithosphere covers all of the entire Earth.
WHICH PLANTS LIVE IN LITHOSPHERE?
Actually, The lithosphere consists of solid rock, soil and minerals. The biosphere consists of all living plants and animals and their interactions with the rocks, soil, air and water in their habitats.
what is the name off the plant that live at lithosphere?
The lithosphere is The crust and upper mantle that make up the earth's solid outer layer. Plants found in the lithosphere are aloe vera, Christmas cactus, neem, orchids, etc.
In what way is lithosphere useful to man?
1. The lithosphere serves as a source of minerals. The minerals supply the basic materials required for making a variety of commodities, which man uses daily.2. The lithosphere is also the major source of fuels such as coal, petroleum and a natural gas. Without these fuels human life, as we know it today, would have been impossible.3. The lithosphere in combination with the hydrosphere and the atmosphere plays a vital role in the growth of plants and animals. It provides nutrients to the plants. The plants are the source of food for man and all other animals.
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.
What is an example of when an animal dies and decomposes its nutrients are absorbed into the soil Plants use these nutrients to live and grow?
biosphere and lithosphere interaction
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 difference between the core and 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
What is the lithosphere of the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and uppermost hard, brittle mantle.
What includes the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust?
lithosphere.
What is the division of lithosphere?
division of lithosphere
Why is lithosphere important to all living things?
Lithosphere is the solid part of the earth on which animals and plants exists. It provides land for agriculture, supports plants, and it's valuable minerals. The lithosphere is the rocky outer layer of any rocky planet, a term derived from the Greek for rocky sphere. The lithosphere is important to humans as it shields us, and all other organisms on Earth, from the immense heat of the Earth's inner core. The consequence of its formation is that water can exist in its liquid form, allowing for the carbon-based life forms that exist today. However, the lithosphere is also important for the stability of the Earth. The inner layers of the Earth are subjected to pressure by the lithosphere as it is affected by gravity, forcing the innermost elements into the Earth's radioactive core, continuing the nuclear fusion that maintains the planet's constant state of balance. Finally, due to the Earth's formation by the congregation of elements from a long-passed supernova explosion, a number of essential heavy elements, such as carbon, iron, etc. had become trapped in the lithosphere as they settled in the Earth's upper layers as it cooled. It is these elements that allow and comprise much of what exists on the surface today.
