Is the lithosphere thinner under the oceanic or continental crust?
the lithosphere is thinner under the oceanic crust
Where slab of oceanic lithosphere are subducted under continental lithosphere?
destuctive plate margin
Where is the asthenosphere found?
The astheonosphere is right below the lithosphere. Lithosphere right under our crust.
What happens when continental and oceanic lithospheres collide?
When oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere collide, the continental lithosphere may be obducted over the oceanic lithosphere or the oceanic lithosphere may be subducted under the continental lithosphere. The latter is thought to be more common. This subduction and obduction generally results in tectonic activity such as volcanoes and earthquakes.
What layer lies beneath the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.
The layer directly under the Lithosphere?
the asthenosphere
Is the lithosphere thinner under the oceanic or continental crust?
the lithosphere is thinner under the oceanic crust
What is deformable rock under the lithosphere?
the upper part of mantle is called lithosphere.
Where slab of oceanic lithosphere are subducted under continental lithosphere?
destuctive plate margin
What is the difference between a plate and the lithosphere?
lithosphere is something that is under a plate. plate is the thing continents are on.
The layer of the mantle directly under the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.
Do the pacific plate have more oceanic lithosphere or more continental lithosphere?
Oceanic. Most of the Pacific plate is under the Pacific Ocean.
Where is the asthenosphere found?
The astheonosphere is right below the lithosphere. Lithosphere right under our crust.
What happens when continental and oceanic lithospheres collide?
When oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere collide, the continental lithosphere may be obducted over the oceanic lithosphere or the oceanic lithosphere may be subducted under the continental lithosphere. The latter is thought to be more common. This subduction and obduction generally results in tectonic activity such as volcanoes and earthquakes.
Island arcs form when oceanic lithosphere subducts under?
Calderas
How do you use the word asthenosphere in a sentence?
it is under the lithosphere and is semi hot liquid
What is part of earths lithosphere?
yes because its under the 2nd layer of crust
