What is the average thickness of lithosphere |
|
Answer» Oceanic lithosphere is typically about 50–140 km THICK(but beneath the mid-ocean ridges is no thicker than the crust), while continental lithosphere has a range in THICKNESS from about 40 km to perhaps 280 km; the upper ~30 to ~50 km of typical continental lithosphere is crust. |
