lithospheric

The lithospheric mantle might hold if he was quick enough.

There are no signs of instability yet in the lithospheric mantle above us.

She was a quadpoint, moving through the warm deep layers of lithospheric rock.

How does lithospheric rheology change in the vicinity of a fault zone?

This convection process causes the lithospheric plates to move, albeit slowly.

Lithospheric extension is attributed to processes related to plate tectonics.

Subduction zone: The place where two lithospheric plates come together, one riding over the other.

In other words, ideal lithospheric plates do not deform internally as they move.

How are the crust and lithospheric mantle related?

Lithospheric plates are recognized in terms of their lack of internal deformation.

These have been interpreted as shear zones representing surfaces of lithospheric detachment.

Volcanoes along the Mediterranean margin formed due to mantle lithospheric thinning.

The cooling rock exerts a force on spreading lithospheric plates, helping to drive their movements.

The thin lithospheric plates which cover the surface of the Earth are also subject to flexure, when a load or force is applied to them.

As of 2007, it was considered to be "the first truly global compilation of lithospheric magnetic field observations."

The magnetotelluric method is also used in marine environments for hydrocarbon exploration and lithospheric studies.

Mountains and mountain ranges on Earth are typically formed by the movement and/or interaction of lithospheric plates.

A lithospheric drip has been discovered below the Great Basin in Nevada.

This theory views volcanism as the resultant of lithospheric processes rather than heat from the mantle rising up.

Now watch what happens when it reaches the lower boundary of the lithospheric mantle at the hundred-sixty-klom depth."

By the time they returned to the control console, the drill-rigs had passed the Moho and entered the lithospheric mantle.

Spreading ridges: Places on the ocean floor where lithospheric plates separate and magma erupts.

They have a thick crust and deep lithospheric roots that extend as much as several hundred kilometers into the Earth's mantle.

Lithospheric plates on either side of an active transform fault move in opposite directions; here, strike-slip activity occurs.

Slab subduction is the mechanism by which lithospheric material is mixed back into the Earth's mantle.
