The lithosphere is the rigid outermost shell of the Earth that includes the crust and uppermost part of the mantle. The composition of the lithosphere can vary depending on location, but in general, it is composed mainly of the following materials:


๐Ÿ. ๐‚๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ: The crust is the outermost layer of the lithosphere and is composed of two types - the continental crust and the oceanic crust. The continental crust is primarily composed of granite, while the oceanic crust is mainly composed of basalt.


๐Ÿ. ๐”๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐ญ๐ฅ๐ž: The uppermost part of the mantle, which is beneath the crust, is also part of the lithosphere. It is composed of various types of rocks, including peridotite and pyroxenite.


๐Ÿ‘. ๐Œ๐จ๐ก๐จ: The Moho is the boundary between the crust and the mantle, and it marks a significant change in the composition of the lithosphere. It is named after the Croatian scientist Andrija Mohoroviฤiฤ‡.


๐Ÿ’. ๐€๐ฌ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ง๐จ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž: The asthenosphere is the ductile part of the mantle that lies below the lithosphere. It is composed of solid rock that flows slowly over time, and it is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates.


In summary, the lithosphere is composed of the crust, upper mantle, Moho, and asthenosphere, and it is the rigid outermost layer of the Earth.

MEGA QUIZ- 2 (10 to 20) Phase contrast microscopes can be very useful to observe the undistorted morphological features of  Dead cells   Live cells  Stained cells  None of the above Phase contrast microscopy is a technique that allows the visualization of transparent or unstained specimens, such as live cells, by exploiting the differences in refractive index within the specimen. It enhances the contrast and provides detailed morphological information of the cells without the need for staining or fixing them. The principle behind phase contrast microscopy is based on the fact that when light passes through a transparent object, it undergoes a phase shift. This phase shift is proportional to the difference in refractive index between the specimen and the surrounding medium. In a phase contrast microscope, this phase shift is converted into variations in brightness, enabling the visualization of transparent structures within the cells. When observing live cells under a phase contrast mic

Classification of caudal fin

  Classification of caudal fin  The caudal fin, or tail fin, in fish can be classified into different types based on its shape and structure. The caudal fin, or tail fin, is a critical anatomical feature in fish, serving various functions essential for survival. Here are the primary functions of the caudal fin: Propulsion : The caudal fin is the main propulsive force for most fish, allowing them to swim forward. By moving the fin side to side, fish generate thrust that propels them through the water. Different types of caudal fins provide varying degrees of speed and power. Maneuverability : The shape and flexibility of the caudal fin allow fish to make precise movements, including quick turns and sudden stops. This maneuverability is crucial for avoiding predators, catching prey, and navigating complex environments like coral reefs or dense vegetation. Stability: The caudal fin helps maintain balance and stability in the water, preventing the fish from pitching (tilting forward or bac
