Give the name of one plate that contains mostly oceanic lithosphere and of one plate that continenmental litosphere?
One plate that contains mostly oceanic lithosphere is the Pacific Plate, which is predominantly made up of oceanic crust. One plate that contains mostly continental lithosphere is the North American Plate, which consists mainly of continental crust. These distinctions are based on the composition and thickness of the lithosphere in each plate.
How is a continential listhophere different from a oceanic lithoshere?
There is only a slight difference between crust and lithosphere. The difference is that the lithosphere is part of the Earth that encompasses.
What is the difference between the geosphere and lithosphere?
Hydrosphere - water Lithosphere - land So far, that's all I can say.
A tectonic plate is a massive portion of the earths what?
lithosphere
What is slab suction?
Slab suction is the process by which a subducting tectonic plate pulls on the rest of the plate, which can contribute to the motion and deformation of Earth's lithosphere. This pulling force is generated by the sinking of denser oceanic lithosphere beneath less dense continental lithosphere at a convergent plate boundary. The interaction between the subducting slab and the overlying plate can influence various geodynamic processes, such as plate motion, mountain building, and seismic activity.

What is the difference between single plate clutch and multi plate clutch?
"What is the difference between single plate clutch and multi plate clutch?"

What is the difference between the core and the lithosphere?
The core is the innermost layer of the Earth, composed mostly of iron and nickel. It is divided into the outer liquid core and inner solid core. The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and upper part of the mantle.
What part of the Earth has plate?
The Lithosphere. :)
Do the pacific plate have more oceanic lithosphere or more continental lithosphere?
Oceanic. Most of the Pacific plate is under the Pacific Ocean.
What happens to lithosphere at transform plate boundaries?
Lithosphere is neither destroyed nor created.
What is the difference between a convergent plate boundary and a destructive plate boundary?
there the same
What is the difference between a pitcher's plate and the home plate in softball?
43 feet
What happens to the lithosphere at transform plate boundaries?
At transform plate boundaries, the lithosphere slides past each other horizontally. This movement can cause earthquakes as the tectonic plates experience frictional forces. The lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed at transform plate boundaries.
What type of plate boundary results in the rifting of the lithosphere?
A divergent plate boundary.
