Question
Chapter 27, Problem 4RAT
To determine
The correct option for the statement “Lithosphere is created at ______ boundaries and destroyed at ______ boundaries”.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 4RAT
The correct option for the statement “Lithosphere is created at ______ boundaries and destroyed at ______ boundaries” is option (b).
Explanation of Solution
The lithosphere describes the upper part of the Earth and also includes the structures forms due to the movements of the plates.
Lithosphere is created at divergent boundaries because of the movement of the plates away from each other. Tension is the main force behind the creation of divergent plate boundaries.
Lithosphere is destroyed at convergent boundaries due to compressive force at the contact point of plates. The compression is the main force behind the destruction of the convergent boundary plates.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option for the statement“Lithosphere is created at ______ boundaries and destroyed at ______ boundaries” is option (b).

- For each of the actions depicted below, a magnet and/or metal loop moves with velocity v→ (v→ is constant and has the same magnitude in all parts). Determine whether a current is induced in the metal loop. If so, indicate the direction of the current in the loop, either clockwise or counterclockwise when seen from the right of the loop. The axis of the magnet is lined up with the center of the loop. For the action depicted in (Figure 5), indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or zero, when seen from the right of the loop). I know that the current is clockwise, I just dont understand why.
