Lithosphere is the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
Earth's lithosphere includes the crust and the uppermost mantle, which constitute the hard and rigid outer layer of the Earth. The lithosphere is subdivided into tectonic plates<span>. The uppermost part of the lithosphere that chemically reacts to the </span>atmosphere<span>, </span>hydrosphere<span> and </span>biosphere<span> through the </span>soil forming process<span> is called the </span>pedosphere<span>. The lithosphere is underlain by the </span>asthenosphere<span> which is the weaker, hotter, and deeper part of the upper mantle.</span>

The rocky upper layer of the solid earth is called the "lithosphere". This rocky part includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and also of the crust. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and of the asthenosphere which is another part of the upper portion of the mantle.

What kind of waves are present during an earthquake? ...
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

1.The two main types of waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the planet like ripples on water. Earthquakes radiate seismic energy as both body and surface waves.

2. As the combustible materials burn, some of the chemical energy is transformed into heat energy, and some is transformed into light energy. Light energy, also known as radiation or electromagnetic energy, is a type of kinetic energy that takes the form of visible light waves, such as the light from a match

3. Newton's second law of motion is F = ma, or force is equal to mass times acceleration.

4. Answer: Refraction is the bending of light (it also happens with sound, water, and other waves) as it passes from one transparent substance into another. This bending by refraction makes it possible for us to have lenses, magnifying glasses, prisms, and rainbows. Explanation: Refraction.

5. The Density Calculator uses the formula p=m/V, or density (p) is equal to mass (m) divided by volume (V). The calculator can use any two of the values to calculate the third. Density is defined as mass per unit volume.

OleMash [197]
Patients with osteoporosis often suffer compression fractures of the vertebral bodies due to loss of bone mass. Osteoporosis is a condition where the bones become weak and at a risk of being fractured. It occurs when the bone mass decreases after mostly 35 years of age. It mostly occurs in women after menopause due to a reduction in estrogen.

Tidal volume is air ________. A. inhaled after normal inspiration B. remaining in the lungs after forced expiration C. forcibly
velikii [3]

Answer:

a

Explanation:

Tidal volume (TV) is the volume of oxygen that enters the lungs (inspiration) through normal breathing. It is measured per kg of body mass.

It is also measurement applied by a ventilator machine. The machine delivers oxygen and the amount delivered is calculated as tidal volume.

'Remaining in the lungs after forced expiration' is called Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)

'Forcibly expelled after normal expiration' is called Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
