Most models simulate lithospheric plates with a viscoelastic-plastic rheology.
2.
Lithospheric plates are recognized in terms of their lack of internal deformation.
3.
In other words, ideal lithospheric plates do not deform internally as they move.
4.
The cooling rock exerts a force on spreading lithospheric plates, helping to drive their movements.
5.
One of the first pieces of geophysical evidence that was used to support the movement of lithospheric plates came from paleomagnetism.
6.
Lithospheric plates on either side of an active transform fault move in opposite directions; here, strike-slip activity occurs.
7.
There are three types of lithospheric plate boundaries : 1 . ) transform ( where two lithospheric plates slide past each other ).
8.
There are three types of lithospheric plate boundaries : 1 . ) transform ( where two lithospheric plates slide past each other ).
9.
In their conception, the base of the asthenosphere extended as deep as the deepest ( 650 700 km ) earthquakes in the lithospheric plates penetrate the upper mantle.
10.
One of the most significant correlations discovered to date is that lithospheric plates attached to downgoing ( subducting ) plates move much faster than plates not attached to subducting plates.
