In the Earth the lithosphere includes the crust and the uppermost mantle, which constitute the hard and rigid outer layer of the Earth.
lithosphere exists because of pedosphere .
pedosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth that is composed of soil and subject to soil formation processes. It exists at the interface of the lithosphere .
What else can I help you with?
What does the lithospheric plates move on?
Aesthenosphere
What is it called when two lithospheric plates move apart?
Continental Plates
Do lithospheric plates constantly move?
Yes.
What is the study of lithospheric plates?
plate tectonics
Is it true Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes?
No, the wording of you question is not true. However the movement of the lithospheric plates is related to the formation of volcanoes.
Do lithospheric plates move often?
They constantly move. EDIT: Lithospheric plates move only about a few centimeters a year. Hope this helps! ~SLL
What are the 2 parts of the lithospheric plates?
The lithospheric plates are made up of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
Does a tidal drift cause lithospheric plates to move constantly?
No, tidal drift is caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun on Earth's oceans, and it does not directly cause the movement of lithospheric plates. The movement of lithospheric plates is driven by the convection currents in the mantle beneath the Earth's crust.
What is the heat transfer called of lithospheric plates?
The heat transfer in lithospheric plates is called conduction. This process involves the transfer of heat through the solid material of the plates due to the movement of vibrating particles.
What type of scientist studies lithospheric plates?
geologists
What is the following is the major cause of earthquakes?
lithospheric plates
What layer do the lithospheric plates float around on?
Asthenosphere
