Question

Lithospheric plates are comprised of upper mantle and crust. The lithospheric plates "float" on top of . the asthenosphere. Salt domes are economically valuable due to the habitat that they provide for commercially significant fish species Transform faults exist on land and on mid-ocean ridges. Stone Mountain in Atlanta is comprised of extrusive volcanic rock like pumice and obsidian. Interior metamorphic mountain belts are formed by continental-continental convergence. An example would be the Himalayan Mountains Mountain belts act as divides, influence the direction of river flow, and thus influence sediment transport to the coast Examples of Amero-trailing edge continental margins include the Red Sea and the Gulf of California

Explanation / Answer

1.The answer is true,
Lithospheric plates are present above the asthenosphere and comproses of Earths upper mantle and crust

2. False
They are valuable because oil and natural gas float on water and they very much tends to move up along the upward arched sediments and they get trapped there.

3.True
The transform plate boundaries are mostly found in ocean along the mid ocean ridges and they also occur on land. Transform plate boundaries are formed when two plates slide past each other.

4.False
It is comprised of intrusive igneous rocks

5.True
The interior metamorphic mountain belts like himalayas are formed by continent-continent convergennce.

6.True
Mountain belts control the flow of the rivers. For example the flow of river Ganga in Himalayas is controlled by the chain of mountains

7.False
Red sea and gulf of california are examples of neo trailing edge coast.
