- Lithosphere (Wikipedia)
A lithosphere (from Ancient Greek λίθος (líthos) ‘rocky’, and σφαίρα (sphaíra) ‘sphere’) is the rigid, outermost rocky shell of a terrestrial planet or natural satellite. On Earth, it is composed of the crust and the lithospheric mantle, the topmost portion of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on time scales of up to thousands of years or more. The crust and upper mantle are distinguished on the basis of chemistry and mineralogy.
- Book of Joel (Wikipedia)
The Book of Joel (Hebrew: ספר יוֹאֵל Sefer Yo’él) is a Jewish prophetic text containing a series of “divine announcements”. The first line attributes authorship to “Joel the son of Pethuel”. It forms part of the Book of the twelve minor prophets or the Nevi’im (“Prophets”) in the Hebrew Bible, and is a book in its own right in the Christian Old Testament where it has three chapters. In the New Testament, his prophecy of the outpouring of God’s Holy Spirit upon all people was notably quoted by Saint Peter in his Pentecost sermon.
