No, a focus is not a section of the lithosphere; rather, it refers to the point within the Earth where an earthquake originates. The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth, encompassing the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. The focus is located beneath the surface of the lithosphere, while the lithosphere itself is a broader structural layer.
What else can I help you with?
What is a section of the lithosphere that slowly moves over the asthenosphere?
Plate
Is DDT a source of contamination of the lithosphere?
Yes, it is true.
What makes up a typical plate that moves across the earths surface?
a section of both continental and oceanic lithosphere
What is the irregular section of the lithosphere that floats on earths mantle?
The irregular section of the lithosphere that floats on Earth's mantle is known as the tectonic plates. These plates are composed of the Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, and they vary in size and shape. The movement of these plates is driven by convection currents in the underlying mantle, leading to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
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.
What is a section of lithosphere that carries crust?
the outer mantle
Is a focus or a plate part of the lithosphere?
A plate is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere is the outermost rigid layer of the Earth's surface, and it is divided into tectonic plates. A focus refers to the point within the Earth where an earthquake originates.
What is a section of the lithosphere that slowly moves over the asthenosphere?
Plate
What section of the lithosphere carries the crust?
The crust is actually part of the lithosphere, though it is 'carried' by the magma of the outer mantle.
Is true about the lithosphere plates?
They are constantly in motion.
What section of the earth is composed of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
The Lithosphere
Section of the lithosphere that slowly moves over the asthenosphere?
A lithospheric plate.
Is DDT a source of contamination of the lithosphere?
Yes, it is true.
What section of the lithosphere that carries crust?
''plates'', it was on my crossword for homework (6th grader)
Does the lithosphere contains both land masses and the oceans?
true
What is the description off the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the solid outer section of Earth, which includes Earth's crust, and the underlying cool, dense, and rigid upper part of the mantle.
What is the the part of the mantle below the lithosphere?
Upper Mantle
