What else can I help you with?
Do the plates include the lithosphere under the oceans?
Yes. The surface of earth covered by the oceans are part of the plates of the earth.
Lithospehere is broken into large sections called?
The lithosphere is broken into large sections called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-molten layer of the earth's mantle and interact with each other along their boundaries, leading to processes like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Is Greenland mostly covered by a continental ice sheet?
No it does not. Antarctica The term Continental Ice Sheet is given to a glacier that is over 20,000 mi2 (50,000km2 ). As the Greenland Ice Sheet is 660,235 mi2 (1,710,00km2), this puts it well into Continental Ice Sheet size bracket. So even though it is on an island, it's size gives it the right to be classed as a Continental Ice Sheet.
Is Greenland always covered by ice?
No, Greenland is not always covered by ice. It experiences seasonal variation in ice coverage, with the majority of the island covered by ice year-round, but in the summer months, some of the ice does melt.
Areas of the crust which are no longer covered with continental glaciers are probably still experiencing what?
Areas of the crust that were once covered by continental glaciers are likely still experiencing rebound, a process known as isostatic rebound. This is the slow uplift of land due to the removal of the weight of the ice sheets, causing the crust to rise.
What is the lithosphere covered with?
bcause terds fly
What covers the bottom of the continental shelf?
it is covered by sediment!! ;)
What percent of Antarctica is covered in thick ice?
98% of the land is covered with a continental ice sheet.
What percentage of the continental US is covered by golf courses?
15%
What percentage of earth is covered by continental land mass?
About 25% to 35% of continental land mass covers the Earth. This is because about 75% to 70% of water covers the Earth. You can subtract 75 or 70 by 100 to find out.
The layer of the earth crust that is not covered by ocean what is called what?
continental crust

What layer of the Earth's crust that is not covered by ocean water is called the crust?
The part of the Earth's crust that is not covered by ocean water is called the continental crust. It is thicker and less dense than the oceanic crust and primarily makes up the continents.
What is the portion of the earth's system that is covered by a gaseous layer called A. atmosphere B. hydrosphere C. lithosphere?
atmosphere lol
What percent of Antarctica is covered in rocks?
98% of the land is covered with a continental ice sheet; the remaining 2% of land is barren rock
