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.
By Andrew Alden. The lithosphere is the brittle outer layer of the solid Earth. The plates of plate tectonics are segments of the lithosphere. The lithosphere is basically the layer of the Earth that is strong enough to flex rather than flow. Its top is easy to seeit's at the Earth's surfacebut the base of the lithosphere is a transition rather than a sharp boundary.
