On Earth, the Lithosphere is best described as the outer part of the Earth which includes the crust and upper mantle.

<h3>Where does the Lithosphere exist?</h3>

The Lithosphere is the part of the Earth that we are on. It consists of the crust and the upper mantle.

It is above the mantle and is made up of pieces called tectonic plates that are constantly in motion.

It is these tectonic plates that the continental crust rests on. This is why continents are said to be shifting. Oceanic crusts are also part of the lithosphere and are more denser.

The Lithosphere is approximately 62 miles thick which is quite thick but not as thick as the mantle which is about 1,802 miles thick. The core is even thicker as it is separated into two parts - inner core and outer core.

What was the basis of Ghana’s wealth?
erik [133]

The basis of Ghana's wealth was the trade, mainly of gold and salt.

Explanation:

Ghana was a an empire in West Africa, or rather in the western Sahel. Even though it was not a very large empire, it was very wealthy, and it had very big power in the region. There are two main reasons as to why Ghana managed to became powerful and wealthy:

  • excellent location
  • trade

The excellent location, between North Africa and and West Africa, right on the trade routes between the two regions, contributed to Ghana having huge advantage to gain wealth. This was used, and Ghana developed the trade even more between the two regions, and it wisely used its goods.

The two most valuable and most demanded goods from Ghana were the salt and the gold. The salt was popular among all people, and the demand for it was constantly on the rise. The gold was highly valued by the people of the higher hierarchy, and they wanted to have as much as possible from it, and they paid a lot for it. These two, and several other goods, brought enormous wealth to Ghana.
