If you want 2 cups of cooked quinoa, measure out 1/2 cup of dry quinoa etc. To cook quinoa, you use a 2:1 ratio, or you would use two cups of water for every 1 cup of dry quinoa. *While there are other methods of cooking quinoa, for example in a rice cooker, this lesson will cover cooking quinoa on the stovetop.
Definition and introduction. The continental lithosphere consists of the continental crust and, typically, some nonconvecting part of the underlying upper mantle (Figure 1). In plate tectonics terms, the continental lithosphere is part of the rigid outer rind of the Earth, which is segmented into several major plates.The cold lithosphere lies atop a hotter, more mobile (low strength) asthenosphere.n plate tectonics terms, the continental lithosphere is part of the rigid outer rind of the Earth, which is segmented into several major plates.

Cratonic lithosphere is much older than oceanic lithosphere â up to 4 billion years versus 180 million years. The term craton is used to distinguish the stable portion of the continental crust from regions that are more geologically active and unstable.Cratons can be described as shields, in which the basement rock crops out at the surface, and platforms, in which the basement is overlain by sediments and sedimentary rock.ratonic lithosphere is much older than oceanic lithosphere â up to 4 billion years versus 180 million years.
