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.
A Broken Lithosphere. The fundamental units of plate tectonics are large pieces of Earth's lithosphere, the outermost rocky layer of the planet that is composed of the Earth's crust and the upper 50 to 80 miles of the next-lower layer, the mantle. The lithosphere is not a uniform mass of rocks.
