- The near-constant depth of the abyssal sea floor indicates that the lithosphere thickens to roughly 100 km in 70 million years, but then ceases to grow.
- Scientists believe that below the lithosphere is a relatively narrow, mobile zone in the mantle called the asthenosphere.
- A second reason for isostatic anomalies is that the lithosphere is not capable of adjusting instantaneously to a change in load.

- The differences between them arise as a result of the differences in strength and density of oceanic and continental lithosphere.
- Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that describes the movement of Earth's upper mantle and crust, known as the lithosphere. The Royal Society of London announces the 2011 Copley Medal winner
