lithosfeer

stijve laag onder het aardoppervlak

AI overview

The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of Earth made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle, and it's divided into large sections called tectonic plates. Understanding the lithosphere matters because these plates move and interact, which shapes Earth's surface features like mountains, earthquakes, and ocean basins.

De lithosfeer of steenschaal is het buitenste gedeelte van de vaste Aarde en is ongeveer 80 km dik (Afhankelijk van of het oceanische of continentale lithosfeer betreft). De lithosfeer verschilt van de onderliggende asthenosfeer doordat het gesteente kouder, sterker en rigider is. De lithosfeer omvat behalve de aardkorst het harde bovengedeelte van de mantel.
