How is the lithosphere formed and shaped?
Deposition is the first step in the formation of new sedimentary.
What forms when deformation causes the lithosphere to break?
There are different tectonic structures that are formed when deformation causes the lithosphere to break. The deformation of the lithosphere is caused by the weight of the ice.
Where are oceanic crust and lithosphere formed?
At the mid-ocean ridges.
What comprises the lithosphere?
The lithosphere outermost part of any rocky planet. The earth's lithosphere is comprised of the mantle and upper crust. The lithosphere is formed of plates that fit together, and at times move and shift, causing earthquakes.
Mid ocean ridges are actually underwater mountain ranges?
It is true that mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges. These ridges are where the lithosphere is moving apart and new oceanic crust is being formed.
How new oceanic lithosphere formed?
because stuff goes and hits some other stuff and.........BOOM..... oceanic lithosphere

What can the movement of two plates in the earth's lithosphere?
new crust will be formed as the plates move away from each other.
Is magma molten rock formed in the asthenophere?
No, it is not. It is found in the lithosphere. The lithosphere is between the mantle and the crust.
What forms lithosphere?
The lithosphere was formed over a vast expanse of time as the outer skin of the earth solidified from magma.
What forms when deformation causes the lithosphere to break?
There are different tectonic structures that are formed when deformation causes the lithosphere to break. The deformation of the lithosphere is caused by the weight of the ice.
Where are oceanic crust and lithosphere formed?
At the mid-ocean ridges.
What is the boundary formed by the collision of two lithosphere plates is?
convergent
Does the oceanic lithosphere get younger or older as you move closer to the mid ocean ridge?
It gets younger.
What comprises the lithosphere?

What is convergent boundry?
the boundry formed by the collision of 2 lithosphere plates
New oceanic lithosphere forms as a result of?
New oceanic lithosphere forms as a result of continental drift.
