How is the lithosphere formed? |
|
Answer» Answer: The solidification of the magma ocean, UPON which the process of the formation of the LITHOSPHERE is dependent, most likely began with the formation of a forsterite (or forsterite-rich peridotite) slab at a depth of about 100 KM FOLLOWED by the solidification of Earth’s surface, cooled by heat radiation from the surface and the cooling effect of the early ATMOSPHERE. |
