The area around the court facility (South Regional Hollywood Courthouse) has some nice circular and semi-circular streets. Probably confuses some residents, and especially tourists. But it's still pretty.
It is the rigid outermost shell of a rocky planet. Here on Earth the lithosphere contains the crust and upper mantle. The Earth has two types of lithosphere: oceanic and continental. The lithosphere is broken up into tectonic plates. Oceanic lithosphere consists mainly of mafic(rich in magnesium and iron) crust and ultramafic(over 90% mafic) mantle and is denser than continental lithosphere. It thickens as it ages and moves away from the mid-ocean ridge.
The lithosphere is 31 to 62 miles thick under the oceans. The lithosphere is the outermost shell of the Earth, separating the crust from the upper mantle. Movements of plates in the lithosphere formed giant mountains like Mount Everest. Lithospheric plates are more commonly known as tectonic plates. View slideshow of images above.
