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 lithosphere, Greek for ârocky sphere,â is the outermost shell of the Earth. The term is also used to refer to the outermost rocky shell of other solid planets. It is a relatively thin layer, about 31 to 62 miles (50 to 100 km) thick under the oceans and 93 miles (150 km) thick on the continents.he lithosphere is 31 to 62 miles thick under the oceans. The lithosphere is the outermost shell of the Earth, separating the crust from the upper mantle.
