| 21. | But most scientists say the lithosphere sinks simply because of its enormous weight.
|
| 22. | In this way, the total surface of the lithosphere remains the same.
|
| 23. | Oxygen is also cycled between the biosphere and lithosphere.
|
| 24. | Horizontal shortening caused flexual isostasy to bend the lithosphere.
|
| 25. | Those terranes which are the full thickness of the lithosphere are called microplates.
|
| 26. | During times of thrusting, the lithosphere is stiff and the forebulge broadens.
|
| 27. | Delamination of the lithosphere has two major geologic effects.
|
| 28. | Increasing density of the lithosphere as it cools and sediment accumulation causes subsidence.
|
| 29. | Nail polish remover can also enter the lithosphere by landfills and by precipitation.
|
| 30. | The lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary represents a rheological boundary.
