What state of matter is represented by Earth's lithosphere?
The Earth's lithosphere is a solid state of matter. It includes the outermost layer of the Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle, and it is rigid and relatively cool compared to the layers beneath it.
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 molten rock in earth's mantle rise to the lithosphere in a convection current?
Molten rock in the Earth's mantle rises to the lithosphere due to convection currents driven by heat from the Earth's core. As the mantle material heats up, it becomes less dense and rises, while cooler, denser material sinks. This continuous cycle creates a convection current that facilitates the movement of molten rock toward the lithosphere, where it can lead to volcanic activity or contribute to the formation of new crust.
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.
Is the lithosphere dense?
The density of Earth's lithosphere is 2.5 gm/cm^3
Weather is the current state of the lithosphere true or false?
False. Weather is the current state of the atmosphere at a specific place and time, not the lithosphere. The lithosphere refers to the solid outer layer of the Earth that includes the crust and uppermost part of the mantle.
Is weather the current state of the lithosphere?
No, weather is not the current state of the lithosphere. Weather refers to the atmospheric conditions at a specific place and time, like temperature, precipitation, and wind. The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth that includes the crust and part of the upper mantle.
What is the state of matter of lithosphere?
Solid
What state of matter is lithosphere?
Solid
What state of mater is lithosphere?
Solid
What is the state of balance of the lithosphere called?
isostasy
What type of current is responsible for the movement of earths lithosphere plates?
Nothing its all fake
What type of current is responsible for the movement of earth's lithosphere plates?

What state of matter is represented by Earth's lithosphere?

What is the current state of the object?
The current state of the object is unknown.
What kind of metamorphism might take place at a divergent boundary?
When a divergent boundary occurs beneath oceanic lithosphere, the rising convection current below lifts the lithosphere producing a mid-ocean ridge!!!Hope i helped.
What is the state of equilibrium which sections of the earths lithosphere achieve when vertical forces upon them are unchanged?
isostasy
