So let's compare our lithosphere and a stenosphere.
00:05
So we'll make a list with our lithosphere descriptions over here on the left and a stenosphere on the right.
00:23
So first, our lithosphere composed of the crust and really the upper most mantle parts that are most solid and rigid.
00:34
Kind of that upper solid mantle part, where when we talk about the esthenosphere, we are talking about the mantle, kind of upper mantle is relatively weaker, and as we'll talk about some of our other parts, more plastic or more able to be deformed to ductal deformation.
01:08
So the next part, we have our physical structure, of our lithosphere.
01:14
It's consisting of that rigid outer layer divided by tectonic plates, which again is regarded as really rigid, or specifically also using more specific terms, meaning elastic and brittle.
01:35
So again here is saying that with elastic, our rocks can react to moving under stress, but kind of will rebound back to the original position, if that stress is removed or continued stress to the point of movement, they would just break, is what we mean by them being brittle...
