What impact is there on the lithosphere in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina?
Q. What impact does Hurricane Katrina have on the lithosphere in/or/and New Orleans?
Asked by bkprincess - Wed Mar 19 17:58:26 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Prolly none since Hurricane Katrina didn't even hit New Orleans...it hit Mississippi...of course, the only ones who would know that are those of us who actually lived through it. The media never reported anything other than New Orleans- which didn't even get hit. Yeah, I'm still a little peeved over all this :-(

What is the average thickness of oceanic lithosphere ? Does it increase over the ridges ?
Q. I would like to know whether the thickness of the lithosphere increases beneath the oceanic ridges like the Ninety East Ridge in the Bay of Bengal
Asked by ksr542002 - Sat Jul 8 00:49:23 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. No, it actually decreases at the ridges. In fact, the thickness it zero at the spreading center by definition. The average thickness is about 6 km.

What is the difference between the lithosphere and geosphere?
Q. I'd like to know and please don't give me a complicated and hard to understand answer.
Asked by FallOutGirl - Sun Sep 24 17:00:35 2006 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments
A. The lithosphere is the crust and upper mantle of the earth. The geosphere is the solid part of the earth consisting of the crust and outer mantle-the outer mantel is liquid and is part of the earths middle. That is what makes it different.

A subducting slab is pulling the lithosphere into the mantle and a continent is pulled into th subduction zone?
Q. what do you think might happen?
Asked by Zen - Sat Dec 19 18:54:48 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Is is exactly what happened with the Eurasia-Indian sub-continent collision. Oceanic crust subducted first, then continental crust slammed into the other continental crust, because it's not going to be "sucked down" into the mantle - it's too "un-dense" (there's a better word for that...) and therefore buoyant. Obviously, then, you end up with large mountains formed through collisions and pressurized uplift, giving rich people who have more money than brains a place to risk their lives to stand at 29,035 feet above sea level. A somewhat similar process is taking place at the Eurasian-African boundary, which has resulted in the creation of the European Alps.

Q. what is one interaction between the lithosphere and hydrosphere
Asked by Sarah - Thu Oct 1 17:03:40 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Natural erosion of shorelines by wave action is one interaction between the lithosphere and the hydrosphere. Waves continuously ebb and flow slowly washing soil away from the shore into the oceans. In the case of a tsunami, this can be very dramatic and can occur very quickly. Another type of interaction between the lithosphere and the hydrosphere occurs when volcanoes erupt. Volcanic action can quickly build islands in places where there was no land before an eruption. Where once there was only water, an island appears. If a major landslide were to occur and a lake were to form as a result of the landslide, this would also be an example of interaction between the lithosphere and the hydrosphere.
