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 Earthâs outer crust (the lithosphere) is composed of a series of tectonic plates. These plates move on a hot flowing mantle layer called the asthenosphere. Heat within the asthenosphere creates convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move several centimeters per year relative to each other. When two tectonic plates meet, we get a âplate boundary.â There are three major types of plate boundaries.
