How is the lithosphere different from the mantle?
Q. a. The mantle is part of Earth s atmosphere, while the lithosphere is in the solid part of Earth. b. The mantle is very hot, which causes the lithosphere to move. The lithosphere is the solid crust on top of the earth. c. The mantle is a solid, but moving, layer of semi-molten rock The lithosphere is the solid crust on top. d. The mantle is the dense layer of atmosphere nearest the earth; the lithosphere is the solid crust on top of Earth.

Q. How does the core affect the movement of the lithosphere? please i need help!!!
Asked by naomi c - Thu Oct 15 22:26:38 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. the core gives off a tremendous amount of heat (over 10,000 degrees) and that heat rises then cools and sinks, then rises back again creating a convection current of moving rock inside the Earth. When this moving rock rises up it puts pressure on the solid outer layer of the Earth called Lithosphere (crust). This is what pushes the Lithospheric plates and causes them to move which in turn creates earthquakes, volcanoes, and most of the things that we experience here on the surface of the Earth. Without the heat generated by the core of the Earth, we wouldn't have plate tectonics (the moving of the lithosphere).

A. The lithosphere is the upper mantle and crust combined into one word. It's up here that the tectonic plates exist and where they move. There are two areas where new crust rock is created: (1) Volcanoes at subduction zones (convergent boundaries) or hot spots. (2) Divergent boundaries, where plates are moving apart (the Mid-Ocean Ridge). There are type types of crust, continental crust and oceanic crust. Continental crust is "light" in elemental continent, oceanic crust is "heavy" in elemental continent. Literally heavier elements.
