Question

The part of the lithosphere under the ocean are less dense then those under the continents. True or false

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The outer part of the Earth that is hard and solid is termed as lithosphere. It is the outermost part of the Earth's surface. The lithosphere covered under the oceans is the oceanic lithosphere while the lithosphere comprising the continental area is the continental lithosphere. Oceanic lithosphere is denser than the continental lithosphere because of the thin layer of the Earth that exists under the oceans.
