Lithospheric

The lithosphere is broken up into slabs that geologists call lithospheric plates or tectonic plates.

West and Roth are graduate students; working with their advisor, Matthew Fouch, the team concluded that they had found a lithospheric drip. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Most plates consist of two distinct kinds of lithospheric rock. ❋ RICHARD DAWKINS (2009)

This region has experienced lithospheric unrest since before the dawn of the fossil-fueled internal combustion engine. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The lowering and rising of the sea level during the glacial and inter-glacial periods of the Pleistocene, along with continuous activity in the mobile belt which characterizes the contact zone of the two colliding lithospheric plates, has continued to promote the great biodiversity of the island of New Guinea in general, and in the Lorentz area in particular. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The lithospheric shapes and sizes of our earth were registered in mankind's cognizance by non-Negroid races. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Teide is the highest mountain in Spain, an impressive stratovolcano in the center of the island of Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, a chain formed like the Hawaiian Islands by the passing of the under-lying lithospheric plate across a magma plume. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Variations in the age, density, and chemical composition of oceanic and continental crust suggest that these lithospheric deposits were created by different processes. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The other 5% occur in areas associated with lithospheric hot spots. ❋ Unknown (2007)

This in itself would indicate high heat lithospheric flows in the region. ❋ Unknown (2006)

I thought if a volcanoe erupts, then that points to a localised increase in deep lithospheric temperature how else to cause partial melting, which means an increase in energy. ❋ Unknown (2005)

This blob, they say, is part of the crust and lithospheric mantle that peeled off to founder in the planet's depths. ❋ Alexandra Witze (2011)
