Convection here leads to earthquakes?
Convection within the Earth's mantle causes tectonic plates to move, leading to the buildup of stress along plate boundaries. When this stress is released suddenly, it results in earthquakes. These earthquakes help to relieve the built-up pressure and continue the cycle of plate movement.
What are the effect of climate change in lithosphere?
Climate change can lead to increased erosion and landslides due to changes in precipitation patterns and extreme weather events. It can also contribute to the melting of permafrost, which can destabilize structures built on the lithosphere. Rising sea levels can also impact coastal areas, causing erosion and flooding.
What does an earthquake do to the lithosphere?
An earthquake dissipates energy that has been built up in the lithosphere. This energy builds up due to the movement of the earth's tectonic plates. Where two tectonic plates interact (especially at collision or strike slip boundaries), the plates can become locked. This causes the lithosphere at these points to begin to deform causing a build of energy in the form of elastic strain. When the stress exceeds the strength of the rockmass, there is a sudden release of all the stored energy due to the occurrence of brittle failure where a fracture (or fault) is able to propagate through the material.
What causes lithospheric plates to build up pressure and finally give along transfrom faults?
Lithospheric plates build up pressure due to the movement of mantle convection currents, which exert forces on the overlying plates. When the force exceeds the strength of the rocks along a transform fault, the built-up pressure is released, causing the plates to give way and produce an earthquake.
Why is there high pressure in the mantle?
If you imagine the world as a kettle of boiling water, standing on a lit gas ring. While the steam escapes through the spout, all is well. But if the spout and lid was to become blocked, the steam would create a growing pressure inside the kettle. Eventually, the kettle would burst and the pressure is suddenly released. A bursting kettle is like an erupting volcano, releasing some of the pressure that had built up below the mantle.
How is crust different than mantle?
The crust is the ground that people have built the building and have grown the trees on. The mantle on the other hand is way down into the earth. It has the magma and gasses and other material in it. The difference is that we can not stand on the mantle or we will burn. the crust is the outer layer of the earth, while the mantle is inside near the core.
How does an earthquakes cause each of these types of damage?
Earthquakes cause direct damage when the seismic disturbance weakens and collapses buildings and other infrastructures not built to withstand the tremors. This often causes great loss of life. Other damage caused by earthquakes results from landslides, mudslides, avalanches, fires, soil liquefaction and tsunamis.

What is produced by movements of faults around the lithosphere and asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is the Earth's outermost crust. The asthenosphere is a ductile, somewhat deformable, layer 60-150 miles (100-250 km) below the Earth's surface, under the lithosphere. Movements between the two layers cause earthquakes.
How do you build a safe and easy rabbit hutch for your rabbit?
I would suggest you buy a "built it" kit from a pet store and mantle it yourself.
What are the causes for Mount Etna to errupt?
the pressure built up, and it erupted?

Why are railway stations built on a curve?
Because it is really hot and that causes it to bend.
How does island arcs form?
and island arc is formed by undersea volcanoes. built over time, and island arc is made of basalt and melted rock from the mantle.
What was the Apcolypse that Hitler built?
Adolf Hitler causes the holocaust, which could be considered an apcolypse.
What are Conflicts built upon?
they arebuilt apon different view points and opinions. that causes conflicts.
