Question
the lithosphere is split into tectonic plates which move due to convection currents. the properties of the lithosphere are very important factors for this type of movement. what are the properties of the lithosphere? a) it is very stiff and rigid b) it floats on the asthenosphere c) it is made up of the crust and upper mantle d) all of the answers are correct
The lithosphere is indeed very stiff and rigid (a). It floats on the more ductile asthenosphere (b). And it is composed of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle (c). Since all of these statements (a, b, c) are correct, the option that says all answers are correct (d) is the right choice.
