The rigid outermost shell of a rocky planet. Here on Earth, it comprises the crust and the portion of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on time scales of thousands of years or greater.
lithosphere itself tells us that light the land do not make it barren

The outermost layer of the Earth is the crust or lithosphere.
What is Canada composed of ?
lithosphere
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and uppermost hard, brittle mantle.
The lithosphere is composed of the oceanic and continental crusts.
The lithosphere is composed of oceanic crust (mostly basalt)
The lithosphere is composed of oceanic crust (mostly basalt)
The lithosphere is composed of oceanic crust (mostly basalt)
Continental lithosphere is thicker and less dense than oceanic lithosphere. Continental crust is primarily composed of granitic rock while oceanic crust is composed primarily of basaltic rock.
The mantle is composed of the asthenosphere and the lithosphere.
No, oceanic lithosphere contains more mafic rocks compared to continental lithosphere. Oceanic lithosphere is mainly composed of basalt, which is a mafic rock, whereas continental lithosphere is composed of a variety of rock types, including granitic rocks which are more felsic in composition.
The lithosphere is composed of crust and hard upper mantle. The oceanic lithosphere would be hard upper mantle and basaltic oceanic crust.
The lithosphere is composed of crust and hard upper mantle. The oceanic lithosphere would be hard upper mantle and basaltic oceanic crust.
Not. That is the hydrosphere. The lithosphere is composed of stone.
The lithosphere is the solid, rocky crust covering entire planet. This crust is inorganic and is composed of minerals.
