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. The cold lithosphere lies atop a hotter, more mobile (low strength) asthenosphere.
Oceanic lithosphere consists mainly of mafic crust and ultramafic mantle (peridotite) and is denser than continental lithosphere, for which the mantle is associated with crust made of felsic rocks. Oceanic lithosphere, which is associated with oceanic crust and exists in the ocean basins (mean density of about 2.9 grams per cubic centimeter). 2  Continental lithosphere, which is associated with continental crust (mean density of about 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter).
