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.
1 Rocks that are being pulled apart are under tension (also called extension). 2  Tension causes rocks to lengthen or break apart. 3  Tension is the major type of stress found at divergent plate boundaries. 4  When forces act parallel to each other but in opposite directions, the stress is called shear (Figure 7.2).
