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.

A. Lithosphere The lithosphere is the solid, rocky crust covering entire planet. This crust is inorganic and is composed of minerals. It covers the entire surface of the earth from the top of Mount Everest to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Hydrosphere The hydrosphere is composed of all of the water on or near the earth. This includes the oceans, rivers, lakes, and even the moisture in the air. Ninety-seven percent of the earth's water is in the oceans. The remaining three percent is fresh water; three-quarters of the fresh water is solid and exists in ice sheets Biosphere The biosphere is composed of all living organisms. Plants, animals, and one-celled organisms are all part of the biosphere. Most of the planet's life is found from… [cont.]

Asked by Rebecca - Wed Jan 6 23:55:39 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Incidentally, that is a very pathetic attempt at an excuse to get me to do your homework. There are thousands of volcanoes that haven't erupted in a long time, and you can learn all about them. Lithosphere --> Fuji receives magma through the lithosphere. The weight of the mountain presses down on the lithosphere as it searches to reach isostatic equilibrium ("upward force equals downward force") Biosphere --> Lava flows can directly impact habitats, geothermal fluids can make surface waters more acidic, gases (if concentrated enough) can affect plant growth. Hydrosphere --> During eruptions, can release water vapor (as steam) into the atmosphere, which will enter the hydrologic cycle as rain. As mentioned, fluids can chance acidity. … [cont.]

A. In addition to the geothermal resources described by Mark, you can also find uranium, coal, oil, and gas in the lithosphere. The lithosphere includes the crust, and consists of all rock between the surface and the asthenosphere - not including the atmosphere, water, and unconsolidated surficial debris.

Asked by jerjer09 - Fri Sep 5 01:35:03 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You will need to do some reading for this - I suggest you start with the definitions and then go on to some of the many sites dealing with this. You can think about how the climate (atmosphere) affects weathering and erosion of rocks (Lithosphere) - volcanoes affect the atmosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere in different ways. The lithosphere - geology - influences the biosphere because it dictates the types and fertility of the soils. Similarly the weather influences what can grow and consequently the whole biome. Birds fly through the atmosphere, fish swim in the sea, people dig in the ground to grow crops - all these are interactions. Just a few examples. Do a search on lithosphere + atmosphere +hydrosphere + biosphere + interactions.

Asked by Kent M - Sat Aug 25 11:21:56 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The lithosphere is rigid/solid while the asthenosphere is ductile due to the immense heat at that depth. In geophysics, the asthenosphere is known as the low velocity zone because seismic waves travel much slower when passing through this layer compared to the high speeds in the solid lithosphere. It is not exactly liquid because of the immense overbearing pressures from the lithosphere which prevent melting. However, partial melting can occur with rift formation as it is pushed upwards leading to decompressional melting and causing volcanic activity.

A. Try not to think of those terms as items, but more as categories that encompass different aspects of the earth. Now, about how those categories affect the biosphere. The hydrosphere, the sphere of influence that deals with water in its various forms (some separate out ice and call that the cryosphere), provides the biosphere with a much needed component...water. Life would not exist as we know it without water. It places in important role for all organisms, alongside playing an important role in various earth processes. The lithosphere deals with the earth itself, or land. Land provides a safe-haven for many organisms, both marine and land-dwelling. It plays an active role in plant development, and in our case, food development… [cont.]

A. Convection currents within the asthenosphere and mantle plumes are the primary forces responsible for plate tectonics. Plate tectonics of course deals with the movement of lithospheric plates. Plate Tectonics Driving Mechanism The forces that drive the motion of plates are assumed to be associated with the Earth's internal heat and involve flow of material in the asthenosphere. Various mechanisms have been proposed: Convection Cells - Thought to be primary driving force for plate motion. Unequal heat distribution in the mantle may produce convection cells below the lithosphere. Hot material rises (correlates to spreading center), spreads laterally, cools and sinks deeper into the mantle to be reheated. Two convection cell models: [cont.]

A. The effects of the eruption were felt worldwide. It ejected roughly 10 billion metric tonnes (10 cubic kilometres) of magma, and 20 million tons of sulfur dioxide, bringing vast quantities of minerals and metals to the surface environment. It injected large amounts of aerosols into the stratosphere more than any eruption since that of Krakatoa in 1883. Over the following months, the aerosols formed a global layer of sulfuric acid haze. Global temperatures dropped by about 0.5 C (0.9 F), and ozone depletion temporarily increased substantially. The powerful eruption of such an enormous volume of lava and ash injected significant quantities of aerosols and dust into the stratosphere. Sulfur dioxide oxidised in the atmosphere to produce a… [cont.]

A. I don't think they affect the atmosphere in a remarkable way. Worms provide other species like birds with food, but they can also be parasites which can live in the intestines and skin of living things, even humans. Worms help enrich the soil with their their manure, and specific type of worms like earthworms dig deep down the soil that allows important gases into the soil like nitrogen.
