The lithosphere was formed over a vast expanse of time as the outer skin of the earth solidified from magma.
What else can I help you with?
New oceanic lithosphere forms as a result of?
New oceanic lithosphere forms as a result of seafloor spreading at mid-ocean ridges. Magma rises from the mantle, solidifies at the mid-ocean ridge, and creates new oceanic crust. This process leads to the continuous expansion of the ocean floor.
What rock in the lithosphere called?
The lithosphere consists of the crust and upper mantle.
What is the name of the outerlayer of the lithosphere?
The crust is the outer layer of the lithosphere.
Is the lithosphere a gas?
The lithosphere is composed of the brittle rock that forms the outer layer of the planet. The lithosphere is divided into plates which move independently from each other.
How does ocean lithosphere from?
Ocean lithosphere forms at mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates diverge and magma rises from the mantle to create new oceanic crust. As the magma cools and solidifies, it forms basaltic rock, which composes the ocean floor. This process is part of seafloor spreading, where the newly formed lithosphere gradually moves away from the ridge, allowing for the continuous renewal of the oceanic crust. Over time, this lithosphere can be subducted back into the mantle at convergent plate boundaries.
True or false magma forms in the lithosphere?
False. It forms in the Athenosphere!!
What happens to lithosphere when the plates are spreading?
it forms

What do the rigid crust and the uppermost mantle form?
it forms the lithosphere
What rock in the lithosphere called?
The lithosphere consists of the crust and upper mantle.
What are the five forms of lithosphere?
ocean,sea,ponds,rivers and swamps.
What is the name of the outerlayer of the lithosphere?
The crust is the outer layer of the lithosphere.
What is sliding boundary?
forms when two {crustal} lithosphere plates move apart.
Is the lithosphere a gas?
The lithosphere is composed of the brittle rock that forms the outer layer of the planet. The lithosphere is divided into plates which move independently from each other.
A Which rigid zone on the Earth's surface forms the earth's drifting tectonic plates?
The lithosphere.

Where did the first forms of life ever exist on eart was it the Hydrosphrhr Lithosphere or Atmosphere?
depends on what you belive creation or evalution
