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.
1 The lithosphere is the outermost mechanical layer and is the most rigid layer of the Earth. 2  The lithosphere consists of the crust, and some of the uppermost mantle. 3  The lithosphere averages about 100 km thick.4  It is somewhat thicker beneath continents, and dramatically thinner under mid-ocean ridges.echanical layers differ in their strength or rigidity. These layers do not correspond on a one-to-one basis with the compositional layers. The Earth has five mechanic layers: 1  The lithosphere is the outermost mechanical layer and is the most rigid layer of the Earth.
