How thick is the earths upper mantle?
about 20 inches
How thick is Earth's upper mantle?
about 20 inches
What is is the thickness of the upper mantle?
In oceanic areas the upper mantle is usually 5-200km thick and on continental areas it is 75-300km deep.
How thick is the upper mantle in km?
2900 km thick
How thick is the earths mantle?
The thickness of the Earth's mantle is about 2900 km and it's upper boundary is about 100km deep. There is a really cool cutaway drawing available by using the Wikipedia link.
How thick is the lithoshere?
The lithosphere, which includes the crust and upper part of the mantle, is typically around 100 kilometers thick beneath the oceans and up to 200 kilometers thick beneath the continents.
What part of the mantle can flow like thick liquid?
The outer core of the mantle can be liquid.
What is the Difference between the upper and lower mantle?
The main difference between the upper and lower mantle is their depth within the Earth. The upper mantle is located closer to the Earth's surface, extending from the crust to a depth of about 410-660 km, while the lower mantle lies beneath the upper mantle, extending from around 660-2,891 km deep. Additionally, the upper mantle is more rigid and composed of mainly solid rock, while the lower mantle experiences higher pressures and temperatures, leading to more plastic behavior.
The thickness of the lower mantle?
The lower mantle is approximately 2,900 kilometers thick and extends from a depth of around 660 kilometers to 2,900 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface. It is composed mainly of solid rock that exhibits solid-state flow over geological timescales.
Is the second layer of the earth the upper mantle or the lower mantle?
upper mantle
How thick is the upper mantle in the earth Please answer soon I need this for a project that is due on Monday December 8 2008?
This layer is about 163 miles thick below the earth.
How deep in the ground is the mantle?
Earth's mantle is a rocky shell about 2,890 km (1,800 mi) thick that constitutes about 84 percent of Earth's volume. Two main zones are distinguished in the upper mantle: the inner asthenosphere composed of flowing rock in the state of plasticity, about 200 km thick, and the lowermost part of the lithosphere, composed of rigid rock, about 50 to 120 km thick. A thin crust, the upper part of the lithosphere, surrounds the mantle and is about 5 to 75 km thick. The mantle is divided into sections which are based upon results from seismology. These layers (and their depths) are the following: the upper mantle (starting at the Moho, or base of the crust around 7 to 35 km, downward to 410 km), the transition zone (410-660 km), the lower mantle (660-2891 km), and in the bottom of the latter region there is the anomalous D" layer with a variable thickness (on average ~200 km thick)
