lithosphere

They are found in every part of the earth's lithosphere.

It is an old and stable part of the continental lithosphere.

If it is, then that's why there's no atmosphere or lithosphere.

That weapon probably opened a hole right through the lithosphere.

Earth's atmosphere and lithosphere will become like that of Venus.

Consciousness was just a thin lithosphere over a big hot core, after all.

The lithosphere is the solid shell of the planet Earth.

The crust and the upper mantle make up the lithosphere.

T - structures that consume lithosphere from one side only.

As you can see, there's quite a lot of lithosphere laid bare in these walls.

But this life is limited to a determined zone at the surface of the lithosphere.

It has been developed to explain large scale motions of the Earth's lithosphere.

What is the distribution of stress in the lithosphere?

Numbers indicate the age (in Myr) of the local lithosphere.

The lithosphere is broken up into tectonic plates that can move.

In that context, sometimes the term lithosphere is used instead of geosphere.

Another distinguishing characteristic of the lithosphere is its flow properties.

The lithosphere of the earth is broken up into what are called tectonic plates.

The Earth's outer solid layer, the lithosphere, is made of rock.

What is the absolute strength of faults and the surrounding lithosphere?

This rise is associated with thinning and stretching of the lithosphere.

To some extent the interior of the Moon cooled and the lithosphere became rather thick.

The crust is a part of the lithosphere.

One cause is stretching of the lithosphere (crust + upper mantle).

Below the lithosphere the upper mantle becomes notably more plastic.
