| 11. | The lithosphere is subdivided into soil forming process is called the pedosphere.
|
| 12. | The mantle part of the lithosphere consists largely of peridotite.
|
| 13. | Similarly, Earth's lithosphere " floats " in the asthenosphere.
|
| 14. | Weathering processes initiated by organisms can also free oxygen from the lithosphere.
|
| 15. | The temperature underneath the orogen is much higher and weakens the lithosphere.
|
| 16. | Negative buoyancy of the lower continental crust and mantle lithosphere drive delamination.
|
| 17. | The space left behind by departing lithosphere is filled by upwelling asthenosphere.
|
| 18. | Through subduction, oceanic crust and lithosphere returns to the convecting mantle.
|
| 19. | Accretionary prism between the subducting oceanic lithosphere and the overriding continental plate.
|
| 20. | Simultaneously, normal faulting throughout the protogulf further weakened the areal lithosphere.
