Difference between Lithosphere and Viscosity

Lithosphere vs. Viscosity

A lithosphere (λίθος for "rocky", and σφαίρα for "sphere") is the rigid, outermost shell of a terrestrial-type planet, or natural satellite, that is defined by its rigid mechanical properties. The viscosity of a fluid is the measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress.

Similarities between Lithosphere and Viscosity

Lithosphere and Viscosity have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Asthenosphere, Atmosphere of Earth, Mantle (geology).

Asthenosphere

The asthenosphere (from Greek ἀσθενής asthenḗs 'weak' + "sphere") is the highly viscous, mechanically weak and ductilely deforming region of the upper mantle of the Earth.

Atmosphere of Earth

The atmosphere of Earth is the layer of gases, commonly known as air, that surrounds the planet Earth and is retained by Earth's gravity.

Mantle (geology)

The mantle is a layer inside a terrestrial planet and some other rocky planetary bodies.

Lithosphere and Viscosity Comparison

Lithosphere has 42 relations, while Viscosity has 192. As they have in common 3, the Jaccard index is 1.28% = 3 / (42 + 192).
