What clues can you use to recognize the boundaries between ancient plates that are no longer in existence?
Due to the ancient boundaries entering the lithosphere thus being recycled back through magma pockets.
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.
What part of the egg is the Lithosphere?
What part in the egg is the lithosphere
How do you make the lithosphere?
you make the lithosphere with the mantle and the asthenophere.
Where is lithosphere being consumed?
New oceanic lithosphere is constantly being produced at mid-ocean ridges and is recycled back to the mantle at subduction zones.
Is oceanic lithosphere lighter than continental lithosphere?
no

Why does the lithosphere constantly keep changing?
the lithosphere is the solid upper part of the mantle and the crust, which are spilt up into plates on the earth surface, which are constantly moving. at destructive plate boundaries the plates can get subducted and "recycled" into the mantle, hence lithosphere is destroyed. at mid ocean ridges new crust (lithopshere) is constantly being made. this all leads to the dynamic and continuous cycles of lithosphere being destroyed and created, hence continually changing.
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.
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
What is the mechanics layer of earth that contains tectonic plates?
Lithosphere (apex)
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.
