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?
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 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.
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 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.
Where is the lithosphere locate?
The lithosphere is located at the surface of Earth.The lithosphere is the first layer of the mechanical version of the Earth's layers. The lithosphere is the outer most layer of the Earth.
How does the Biosphere interact with the Lithosphere?
the lithosphere is what the biosphere lives on and if there was no lithosphere the biosphere would die. the biosphere is what the lithosphere needs to survive. the bodies of dead matter decomposes to make the lithosphere able to make more biomatter for the biosphere.
What are the pieces of the lithosphere?
Earth's Crust, Lithosphere and Asthenosphere
