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 the impact of an earthquake on the Earth's lithosphere?
The impact of an earthquake on the earth's lithosphere is quite huge. The lithosphere in most cases will be torn apart as a result of the movement of plate tectonics.
