What is the diameter of the lithosphere?
the diameter of the lithosphere is 124.27 miles long
What is the difference between the core and the lithosphere?
The difference between the core and the lithosphere is the core is on the top of the lithosphere and the lithosphere is on the bottom of the core
What includes the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust?
lithosphere.
What is the division of lithosphere?
division of lithosphere
The crust and upper mantle are called the?
The crust and the upper mantle are a geological part of the earth called the lithosphere. There are 2 parts of the lithosphere: the oceanic lithosphere, which is made up of land underneath water, and the continental lithosphere, which is the the part made of just land. The lithosphere lies on top of the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is made up of tectonic plates, which are pieces of land floating on the lithosphere.
What is the diameter of the lithosphere?
the diameter of the lithosphere is 124.27 miles long
Why does oceanic lithosphere sink beneath convergent lithosphere at convergent boundaries?
As odd as it is to think of things this way, continental lithosphere is more buoyant than oceanic lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere is more dense.
The crust and uppermost mantle make up the rigid outer layer of earth called the?
The uppermost mantle and the crust makes the lithosphere.
What is the difference between the core and the lithosphere?
The difference between the core and the lithosphere is the core is on the top of the lithosphere and the lithosphere is on the bottom of the core
What is the lithosphere of the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and uppermost hard, brittle mantle.
What includes the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust?
lithosphere.
What is the division of lithosphere?
division of lithosphere
What is the mechanics layer of earth that contains tectonic plates?
Lithosphere (apex)
Why does oceanic lithosphere sub duct while continental lithosphere does not?
Oceanic lithosphere is dense enough to be forced down into the mantle. Continental lithosphere is not.
What is an antonym for lithosphere?
whats an antonyms for lithosphere
Why does oceanic lithosphere sink beneath continental lithosphere at convergent boundary's?
As odd as it is to think of things this way, continental lithosphere is more buoyant than oceanic lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere is more dense.
