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.
Sort. 1  Tectonic forces at work: Tectonic forces deform parts of the lithosphere, particularly along plate margins. 2  Deformation may cause a change in orientation, location, and shape of a rock body. 3  When studying deformed rocks, structural geologists typically refer to stress(a force per unit).
