Question
where is lithosphere formed along plate boundaries, and where does it disappear into the asthenosphere?
complete the following answer: lithosphere is formed along
converging
boundaries, where two plates are moving
sidways
. it disappears into the asthenosphere at
transpiration
zones, where two plates are moving
apart
.
Lithosphere is formed at divergent boundaries where plates move apart, not converging boundaries. At transform boundaries, plates move sideways and there is no formation or disappearance of lithosphere into asthenosphere in the context of this question. Transpiration is a process in plants and not relevant here. Lithosphere disappears into the asthenosphere at sub - duction zones which are converging boundaries where one plate moves beneath another.
