What else can I help you with?
How do cyclones effect the atmosphere lithosphere hydrosphere and biosphere?
lithosphere: coastal erosion, buildings destroyed hydrosphere: causing big waves in the ocean, unsettled waters (lakes, rivers etc.) atmosphere: disasterous winds, basically anything to do with wind actually... biosphere: death of animals/people, death of trees, crops etc.
What type of lithosphere are volcanoes that always have nonexplosive eruptions located?
they are on oceanic lithosphere.
What atmospheric layer is farthest from the lithosphere?
The Exosphere is the atmospheric layer the farthest distance from the lithosphere.
How are the asthenosphere and lithosphere involed with plate tectonics?
The lithosphere is the brittle surface layer composed of the crust and uppermost mantle. The asthenosphere is the ductile upper mantle on which the lithosphere is able to move.
Which of earthes mechanical layers contains the seven major plates?
The Lithosphere is a mechanical layer on Earth that contains seven major plates.
How is the lithosphere getting destroyed?
dicks
What happens to lithosphere at transform plate boundaries?
Lithosphere is neither destroyed nor created.
What effect did the eyjafjallajokull eruption have on the lithosphere?
It destroyed the land...
Is oceanic lithosphere destroyed at a transform fault boundary?
No, oceanic lithosphere is not destroyed at a transform fault boundary. Transform boundaries involve horizontal sliding of plates past each other, causing lateral movement rather than creation or destruction of lithosphere.
What location is most lithosphere destroyed?
The location wherein most lithosphere is destroyed are the subduction zones. These zones are along the Ring of Fire where Asia and the American continents are closing together.
What happens to the lithosphere at transform plate boundaries?
At transform plate boundaries, the lithosphere slides past each other horizontally. This movement can cause earthquakes as the tectonic plates experience frictional forces. The lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed at transform plate boundaries.
Is the amount of lithosphere formed on earth equal to the amount destroyed?
Yes, the amount of lithosphere formed at mid-ocean ridges through seafloor spreading is balanced by the amount destroyed at subduction zones. This process, known as plate tectonics, maintains a relatively constant amount of lithosphere on Earth's surface.
Oceanic lithosphere is destroyed at-?
Oceanic lithosphere is destroyed when it is subducted at a convergent plate boundary and forced into the mantle where it melts. You shouldn't use the internet to look up answers on a test. You should use your notes and textbook! DW Thanks for the answer but um, What about people in online school, where the only "textbook" you get is an agenda? yeah the awnser for Gradpoint is Convergent Boundary
Where is the old lithosphere destroyed?
earthquake ...
Why do you think that the total amount of lithosphere formed on the earth is about equal to the amount destroyed?
The process of plate tectonics drives the creation and destruction of lithosphere. As new lithosphere is formed at mid-ocean ridges through seafloor spreading, older lithosphere is consumed at subduction zones, creating a balance between formation and destruction over time. This equilibrium maintains a relatively constant amount of lithosphere on Earth.
Where is most lithosphere created?
Most lithosphere is created at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other. This can occur along mid-ocean ridges or rift valleys on continents. Magma rises to the surface, cools, and solidifies to form new lithosphere.
How do volcanic eruptions affect the lithosphere?
Well, basically, everything surrounding the volcano gets burned, flattened, crushed, destroyed whatever.
