Meanings of lithosphere in английском

From here we monitor the core, asthenosphere, and lithosphere, the convection and conduction.

Only Vin's stone is the whole of the earth-theentire lithosphere.

Continental rifting requires the existence of extensional forces great enough to break the lithosphere.

We suggest that such a mechanism may typify rapid localised extension of continental lithosphere.

The rock cores pulled up from the deep lithosphere are slightly magnetic, like compass needles.

By their action upon the lithosphere they have produced a third envelope,-themantle of rock waste.

The earth sciences aim to unravel how the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere operate-andhow they operate together.

But it is not clear what happens at the base of the plates, the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB).

As I read deeper about Antarctica, I came across another "sphere", the lithosphere, a world of rock.

Next was the hydrosphere, which included all water within and on the lithosphere, in the atmosphere, and in the biosphere.

Ms Perez Diaz says that when the lithosphere is subject to a horizontal extensional force it will stretch, becoming thinner.

To say that the lithosphere floats on top of the asthenosphere suggests a degree of easy buoyancy that isn't quite right.

Magma can then be generated by decompression melting as the asthenosphere ascends to fill in the space of the detached lithosphere.

The plates constitute the hard lithosphere -literally, 'sphere of rock' -which floats atop the hot, semi-molten asthenosphere - 'sphereof weakness'.

The dark, cold abysses of the ocean are far less affected by change than any other portion of the surface of the lithosphere.

Innermost was the endosphere, the molten spherical body of the planet bounded by its lithosphere (the crust, including the solid surface).
