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.
Is the total amount of lithosphere formed on the earth about equal to the amount destroyed?
Yes because according to the laws of conservation of matter, it is a continuous cycle of formation and destruction, and the system is self contained, meaning that over time the amount of lithosphere is not going down, but rather cycling.
What comprises the lithosphere?
The lithosphere outermost part of any rocky planet. The earth's lithosphere is comprised of the mantle and upper crust. The lithosphere is formed of plates that fit together, and at times move and shift, causing earthquakes.
If the strips of clay represent the earth litnosphere what do you think is formed in the litnosphere?
The lithosphere consists of the Earth's crust and uppermost part of the mantle, and it is where tectonic plates are formed and move. It is also where geological processes like earthquakes and volcanic activity occur. The lithosphere plays a crucial role in shaping the Earth's surface and is essential for supporting life on our planet.
Faults can form in which layer of the earth?
Faults are formed at the outer solid layers of the Earth. They are developed within the earths crust or Lithosphere.

What forms lithosphere?
The lithosphere was formed over a vast expanse of time as the outer skin of the earth solidified from magma.
In which part of the earth are diamonds most often formed?
the mantle and the crust, in the lithosphere.
Does Earth's elements stay in the same areas of the lithosphere hydrosphere or atmosphere where they originated when the Earth was formed?
the atmosphere is gas emission from when ground release toxic gases, hydrosphere is tsunamis, lithosphere is the shaking of the earth and avalanches.
How are earth's materials continually being formed and destroyed?

How do you make the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is a part of the Earth's outer shell that includes the crust and uppermost part of the mantle. It is formed by the cooling and solidification of magma from Earth's interior.Plate tectonics play a key role in shaping the lithosphere through processes like volcanic activity, subduction, and spreading of tectonic plates.

What layer of the Earth makes up the tectonic plates and what layer are the continents sliding on?
The continents of the Earth are sliding through the asthenosphere. This is the viscous part of the mantle on which the plates of the lithosphere sit.
