How many large lithosphere plates exist?
nine
Does anything live on the lithosphere?
Yes, many living organisms inhabit the lithosphere, including organisms such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. These organisms interact with the rock and soil of the lithosphere to derive nutrients and support their survival.
How is lithosphere divided and how many plates were there?
Tectonic plates, 3 plates
Why does oceanic lithosphere sub duct while continental lithosphere does not?
Oceanic lithosphere is dense enough to be forced down into the mantle. Continental lithosphere is not.
Why does oceanic lithosphere sink beneath convergent lithosphere at convergent boundaries?
As odd as it is to think of things this way, continental lithosphere is more buoyant than oceanic lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere is more dense.
What layer composes 80 percent of the lithosphere?
Mantle
What are some facts about the earth's lithosphere?
More lithosphere facts:The lithosphere is the solid outer layer of the planetIt is 70-100 kilometers thickIt "floats" on top of a warmer, non-rigid layerThe temperature beneath the lithosphere can reach 1,000 degrees CelsiusThere is about 10 percent molten material at the lower portions of the lithosphere
What layer of the earth composes 80 percent of the lithosphere's volume?
mantle.
What percent of the earth is the lithosphere?
The lithosphere makes up about 0.1% of the Earth's total volume. It is the outermost layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and upper part of the mantle.
What is the Most abundant metallic element in the lithosphere?
The metal that is most abundant in the lithosphere is iron. Over 5.6 percent of Earth's mass is comprised of iron.

The crust and uppermost mantle make up the rigid outer layer of earth called the?
The uppermost mantle and the crust makes the lithosphere.
What is the lithosphere of the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and uppermost hard, brittle mantle.
How many km is the Lithosphere?
The lithosphere is not measured in kilometers as it refers to the rigid outer layer of the Earth. It consists of the crust and a portion of the upper mantle, ranging in thickness from about 30 to 100 kilometers.
How is lithosphere divided and how many plates were there?
Tectonic plates, 3 plates
