It is different because they are not the same
What else can I help you with?
Is the lithosphere or athenosphere thinner?
The lithosphere in thinner!!!!! duuaaa...lol it is thinner because it is between the crust and the outer core and the athenosphere is every where!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
What is the athenosphere and where is it located?
In the uppermantle below the lithosphere.
What do the plates on the lithosphere float on?
the ductile athenosphere.
What do plates of the lithosphere float on?
the ductile athenosphere.
True or false magma forms in the lithosphere?
False. It forms in the Athenosphere!!
What zone meets the earths crust?
the mantle also known as the athenosphere the crust is also known as the lithosphere
The crust and uppermost mantle make up the rigid outer layer of earth called the?
The uppermost mantle and the crust makes the lithosphere.
Name 2 layers of earth in which convection currents take place?
athenosphere and lithosphere
What is the athenosphere and what is it located between?
The asthenosphere is a region of Earth's upper mantle that is partially molten and flows slowly, allowing tectonic plates to move. It is located beneath the lithosphere and extends to a depth of about 200 kilometers below the surface.
What state of matter is reprensented by earths athenosphere?
Athenosphere is an extremely viscous liquid.
Which layer of earth is the athenosphere part of?
The asthenosphere is part of the upper mantle, which lies beneath the Earth's lithosphere. It is a semi-fluid layer of the mantle that allows the lithospheric plates to move and float on top of it.
What is the connection between lithosphere and the athenosphere?
The lithosphere and asthenosphere are both layers of the Earth's structure, but they differ in composition and behavior. The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer, composed of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, while the asthenosphere lies beneath it and is characterized by a semi-fluid, ductile nature that allows for the movement of tectonic plates. This relationship enables the lithosphere to float on the more pliable asthenosphere, facilitating geological processes such as plate tectonics and continental drift.
