LITHOSPHERE

It is important to have a knowledge about the LITHOSPHERE 

because this layer of the earth is where we step and the devastating 

tragedies that is happening around us; the earthquake, the eruption 

of volcanoes, the tsunamis etc. it is all because of what we so called 

the LITHOSPHERE!

The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of the Earth. The Earth consists of three main layers: the core, or the inner layer; the mantle, in the middle; and the crust, which includes the continents and ocean floor. The lithosphere, which is about 100 kilometers deep in most places, includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust.

The reason behind the earthquakes and volcanic eruption is because the lithosphere is always moving, but very slowly. It is broken into huge sections called tectonic plates. The extreme heat from the mantle part of the lithosphere makes it easier for the plates to move. 

Plate tectonics may explain why we have continents. Scientists believe the continents used to be one major landmass called Pangaea, which separated because the lithosphere broke apart. There is evidence to support this theory. For example, the eastern coast of South America and the western coast of Africa look like they would fit together. And even though they are separated by an ocean, similar animals and plants are found in both regions.

THE RESULTS OF THE MOVING TECTONIC PLATES ARE 

THE MOST DEVASTATING TRAGEDIES THAT HAPPENED 

IN THE WHOLE WORLD AND MILLIONS OF LIVES HAD 

BEEN PUNISH BECAUSE OF OUR OWN WRONG DOING 

FOR MOTHER EARTH. WE SHOULD TAKE TIME TO TAKE 

A LOOK AT OUR ENVIRONMENT AND BE RESPONSIBLE!
