The Lithosphere is not far down at all. Actually, the lithosphere is the solid rocky outer part of the earth. The lithosphere is about 100 km deep in most places.

Earhtquakes most commonly occur at what distance below earth's surface in miles?
a earthquake can really start anywhere but it is usually started at the earths core (middle). Other names are the epicenter which is were the earthquakes starts at the earths surface. The focus is where it begins inside the earth.....
What season do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes are not a seasonal phenomenon and so the time of year has no effect on the occurrence of earthquakes. As such, earthquakes can happen at any time of the year as they occur independent of weather and climate.
What parts of the Rock cycle occur at the Earth's surface?
Mostly the sedimentary part which involves the process of weathering, and diagenesis occurs at the earths surface.
Which depth range has the most earthquakes and the fewest earthquakes?
Most earthquakes occur at a depth of between 13-18 km. This is the Brittle-Ductile Transition zone and marks the strongest part of Earth's crust. The depth of the focus can be categorized as shallow, up to 70 km below the surface, or deep which is greater than 300 km. The fewest earthquakes have a depth range greater than 70 km.
What are tectonic plantes?
Tectonic plates are plates that float on the earths mantle. There are 8 major tectonic plates on the earth and at the joints of these many earthquakes seem to occur.
Do the earthquakes appear to occur all over earths surface or only in isolated regions?
Earthquakes occur all over earths surface because isolated regions are ice and for example California is not ice it is heat
Where do earthquakes usually occurr?
Earthquakes ussually occur near the tectonic plates which cover the earths surface.
What happens to earths surface as huge pieces of crust move?
most times earthquakes occur

What percent of earths earthquakes occur along the ring of fire?
About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 80% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire.
Where volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
Anywhere where the earths plates meet. Earthquakes occur only were there is an epicenter. Were ever the epicenter is the earthquake will happen.
In which form do many minerals occur naturally on the earths surface?
Many minerals occur naturally on the earths surface in rock form
What is it called when earthquakes start below Earth's surface?
All earthquakes occur underground, the exact place where the earthquake starts underground is called the Focus. The location where the earthquake first hits the surface of the earth is called the Epicenter! Hope I helped!
Where and when do earthquakes mostly occur?
They mostly occur when the tectonic plates in the earths systems rub against each other and they mostly occur in California.
What is the name of ca famous break in the earths crust that causes earthquakes to occur?
bere hive
What often occurs along faults or breaks in earths crust where movements occur?
fault
Where do earthquakes and volcanes occur?
Earthquakes occur near faults and near the edges of plates in the earth's crust. Volcanic eruptions occur wherever a volcano is. Volcanic eruptions can occur when magma from below Earth's surface seeps through a weak spot in the crust. Volcanoes occur along plate boundaries, along the edges of plates, so this is where volcanoes occur also.
