The lithosphere is the hard rocky outer shell of the Earth, composed of the crust and uppermost mantle, that extends from the surface to a depth of up to 200 km at its deepest point.

Where is the moho barrier located in the layers of earth?
The lithosphere
Where is the asthenospher located?
Melted layer of the mantle that underlies the lithosphere
What is the deepest layer of the lithosphere?
The deepest layer of the lithosphere is called the asthenosphere. It is located just below the lithosphere and is made up of partially molten rock that allows the lithosphere to move and float on top of it. The asthenosphere plays a crucial role in plate tectonics and the movement of Earth's crustal plates.
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.
Where is lithosphere located?
lithosphere is located in the land part, in which we are living in.
In which layer is the asthenosphere and the lithosphere located?
The mantle is the layer where asthenosphere and the lithosphere are located.
What is lithosphere and where is located?
The lithosphere is the crust and upper mantle of the earth, located at the surface of earth.
What type of lithosphere are volcanoes that always have nonexplosive eruptions located?
they are on oceanic lithosphere.
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.
Is the lithosphere located in the plates why not?
Yes, the tectonic plates-both continental and oceanic- are part of the lithosphere.
What volcano is located in the middle of the lithosphere?
magma
What is the athenosphere and where is it located?
In the uppermantle below the lithosphere.
Is the lithospere located in the crust?
The lithosphere includes the crust and the very top of the mantle. The lithosphere is cool and brittle.
What is a place where the crust of the lithosphere has fractured?
A place where the crust of the lithosphere has fractured is known as the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is located below the lithosphere and is where plate tectonic movement occurs.
What is a place where the crust of the lithosphere has fractured.?
A place where the crust of the lithosphere has fractured is known as the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is located below the lithosphere and is where plate tectonic movement occurs.
Where is the moho barrier located in the layers of earth?
