| 1. | The crust in conjunction with the upper mantle comprises the lithosphere.
|
| 2. | It was found that the asthenosphere had invaded the overlying lithosphere.
|
| 3. | As the lithosphere cools, it causes the rock to contract.
|
| 4. | Large scale lithosphere recycling is thus invoked to explain resurfacing events.
|
| 5. | Tesserae represent an ancient time of globally thin lithosphere on Venus.
|
| 6. | The high temperature in the lithosphere causes crustal thinning and intrusions.
|
| 7. | In the smooth areas the lithosphere is more magmatic in composition.
|
| 8. | Due to divergent movement, the lithosphere is volcanic deposits.
|
| 9. | The great thickness of the lithosphere requires that this bending be gentle.
|
| 10. | Because oceanic lithosphere cools and thickens as it ages, it subsides.
