The lithosphere is extremely hot. The temperature of the lithosphere can reach around 600 degrees Celsius. Although this is the case in a general sense, some scientists argue that temperatures can reach up to 1200 degrees Celsius within the lithosphere.

What is the lithosphere temperature?
hot
What are the differences between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is cold and brittle whereas the asthenosphere is hot and dense.
Where is new lithosphere formed?
New lithosphere is commonly formed at mid-ocean ridges, hot spots, and where there are active volcanoes.
What are the similarities for lithosphere and asthenosphere?
both the lithosphere and the asthenosphere have hot matierial
What chain of islands are formed because of a hot spot?
A Hot spot is stationary in time and burns though the solid lithosphere creating an island through volcanic eruptions. The lithosphere is separated into plates that move around so if a hot spot occurs under an oceanic plate it forms a island and as the plate moves (and the hot spot does not) it forms a chain of islands (as the plate moves over the hot spot). This is how the Hawaiian chain is formed.
What is the lithosphere temperature?
hot
What is the same about the lithosphere and the core?
The same about the lithosphere and the core is they both are hot :-(

What are some examples of the effects of the hydrosphere to the lithosphere?
hot spring
What is the litospher?
I think you mean Lithosphere. the lithosphere is the top solid crust portion of planet Earth. it consists of the Ocean floor and Continents. Below the lithosphere is the aesthenosphere. Which begins to get very hot.
What do hot spots create underneath the continental lithosphere?
Often, volcanoes.
How do you use the word asthenosphere in a sentence?
it is under the lithosphere and is semi hot liquid
What allows the tectonic plates in the lithosphere to move?
the hot magma moves around and they move.
What are the similarities for lithosphere and asthenosphere?
both the lithosphere and the asthenosphere have hot matierial
How does the weight of the lithosphere affect the mantle?
The rock of the mantle is hot enough that it would melt at surface pressure. The weight of the lithosphere creates such great pressure on the mantle that it remains solid.
