Does the lithosphere include all of the core and some of the mantle?

No, rather it is the crust and the uppermost brittle mantle.

What do you call the region of Earth between the core and the crust?
Between the core and the crust is the mantle. The upper mantle contains the hard lithosphere and the weak asthenosphere. The lower mantle is marked by an increase in temperature and pressure. As a result, the rocks in the lower mantle flow much slower.The mantle...the mantleThis layer is called the mantle.The part of the Earth that is located between the core and the crust is called the mantle.The four general layers are:1. Crust (outer and surface layer)2. Mantle (thickest individual layer)3) Outer Core (liquid)4) Inner Core (solid)The mantle is sometimes divided into the mantle (proper) and the upper mantle, which exhibits some different characteristics from the layer as a whole.
What is the relationship between the mantle and the lithosphere?
mantle is the inner earth layer between the core and crust. it is separated from the crust by the layer known as Mohorovicic discontinuity or simply Moho. this layer was discovered by the seismologist known as Dr. Andria Mohorovicic in 1909 when he was studying about earth-quakes in Balkan region. Upper mantle combines with the crust to form lithosphere. The mantle is about 5000 degrees centigrades and 2900km deep. hence its hot and semi-molten stated.
What are some earth layers?
core, inner mantle, outer mantle, crust,
What are some words to do with earths layers?
Outer Core, Inner Core, Mantle, Crust
What elements make up the asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of the oceanic and continental crust, along with the rigid upper mantle. The asthenosphere is the plastic like upper mantle directly below the lithosphere where rock can move, bend, and deform without breaking.
Witch term refers to sections of earth's crust and part of the upper mantle?
This is the Continental crust (also some Oceanic), as the crust part of the Lithosphere.
The asthenosphere is part of which layer of the earth?
The Asthenosphere is part of the Mantle of the Earth
All of Earths layers?
-Crust (Lithosphere-crust and upper mantle) Solid -Mantle (Asthenosphere (top thin layer) is 1-5% liquid because it contains some silicon. The rest is solid because it only contains perioditite-magnesium-rich) -Outer core (iron-rich) liquid -Inner core (iron and nickel-rich) solid (because of the pressure)
What are some similarities and differences between the mantle and the core?
the mantle is the part under the crust made up of nickel and iron moving about causing volcanoes whereas the core is solid because it is so tightly packed the minerals and metals have very constricted movement. the mantle is also the largest part of the Earth. the core has 2 sections the inner core and outer core
Which of the earth's layers is a liquid?
Generally speaking, the crust of the earth is a solid. Yes, there are oceans on the earth. Heck, they cover much of the surface. But the crust extends down well below the bottom of the ocean. Earth's crust is up to 70 kilometers deep, which is over 40 miles. The deepest the ocean gets is roughly 7 miles. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the earth's structure.
What thin layer of rock surrounds the earth?
That's called the crust. The size of the crust compared to the size of the Earth's mantle can be compared to the size of the radius of an apple as the mantle and the apple's skin as the thickness of the crust. the crust is broken up into several plates that float and move around on the mantle's molten surface.
Outer most layer of earth?
The outermost layer of the Earth is the crust or lithosphere.
