Question

How is the Lithosphere formed?

Answer 1

• The solid crust or the hard top part of the earth is called lithosphere. 
• The crust is made up of rocks and minerals and covered with a thick layer of soil. 
• It is uneven and has high mountains, plateaus, plains, and very deep basins. 
• Many of these features are shaped by internal and external processes.
• The slow movements inside the earth lead to the formation of the crust. 
• The sudden movements can damage and lead to changes in landforms. 
• The processes originating from the depths of the earth like earthquakes and the volcanic eruptions play important role in shaping the surface of the earth. 
• The external sources like wind, water, glaciers, and waves also play prominent role in shaping the lithosphere.
