Litosfera

The video explains the structure of the Earth's lithosphere, focusing on the crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, and core. It describes how tectonic plates, which are part of the lithosphere, move due to convection currents in the mantle. The video also compares the thickness of oceanic and continental lithospheres.

What causes the movement of tectonic plates?

• Gravity

• Convection currents in the mantle

• Wind

• Earth's rotation

Explain the difference in thickness between oceanic and continental lithosphere.

• Oceanic is thicker than continental

• Continental is twice as thick as oceanic

• Both are the same thickness

• Oceanic is thinner than continental
