The area around the court facility (South Regional Hollywood Courthouse) has some nice circular and semi-circular streets. Probably confuses some residents, and especially tourists. But it's still pretty.
It is the rigid outermost shell of a rocky planet. Here on Earth the lithosphere contains the crust and upper mantle. The Earth has two types of lithosphere: oceanic and continental. The lithosphere is broken up into tectonic plates. Oceanic lithosphere consists mainly of mafic(rich in magnesium and iron) crust and ultramafic(over 90% mafic) mantle and is denser than continental lithosphere. It thickens as it ages and moves away from the mid-ocean ridge.
Lithospheric Plates. The theory of plate tectonics states that the surface of the Earth is composed of a series of fractured plates. The fractured plates making up the crust of the Earth are called lithospheric plates . There are currently seven major lithospheric plates on the surface of the Earth.
