What happens to the lithosphere at transform plate boundaries?
At transform plate boundaries, the lithosphere slides past each other horizontally. This movement can cause earthquakes as the tectonic plates experience frictional forces. The lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed at transform plate boundaries.
Is the amount of lithosphere formed on earth equal to the amount destroyed?
Yes, the amount of lithosphere formed at mid-ocean ridges through seafloor spreading is balanced by the amount destroyed at subduction zones. This process, known as plate tectonics, maintains a relatively constant amount of lithosphere on Earth's surface.
Oceanic lithosphere is destroyed at-?
Oceanic lithosphere is destroyed when it is subducted at a convergent plate boundary and forced into the mantle where it melts. You shouldn't use the internet to look up answers on a test. You should use your notes and textbook! DW Thanks for the answer but um, What about people in online school, where the only "textbook" you get is an agenda? yeah the awnser for Gradpoint is Convergent Boundary
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.
Why does the lithosphere constantly keep changing?
the lithosphere is the solid upper part of the mantle and the crust, which are spilt up into plates on the earth surface, which are constantly moving. at destructive plate boundaries the plates can get subducted and "recycled" into the mantle, hence lithosphere is destroyed. at mid ocean ridges new crust (lithopshere) is constantly being made. this all leads to the dynamic and continuous cycles of lithosphere being destroyed and created, hence continually changing.
How is the lithosphere getting destroyed?
dicks
What happens to lithosphere at transform plate boundaries?
Lithosphere is neither destroyed nor created.
What effect did the eyjafjallajokull eruption have on the lithosphere?
It destroyed the land...
Is oceanic lithosphere destroyed at a transform fault boundary?
No, oceanic lithosphere is not destroyed at a transform fault boundary. Transform boundaries involve horizontal sliding of plates past each other, causing lateral movement rather than creation or destruction of lithosphere.
What location is most lithosphere destroyed?
The location wherein most lithosphere is destroyed are the subduction zones. These zones are along the Ring of Fire where Asia and the American continents are closing together.

Where is most lithosphere created?
Most lithosphere is created at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other. This can occur along mid-ocean ridges or rift valleys on continents. Magma rises to the surface, cools, and solidifies to form new lithosphere.
How do volcanic eruptions affect the lithosphere?
Well, basically, everything surrounding the volcano gets burned, flattened, crushed, destroyed whatever.
