What is a rigid layer made up of the uppermost part of the mantle and crust?
The rigid layer that is the upper mantle and crust is called the lithosphere.
What is the rigid layer that includes the upper part of the mantle and the crust of the Earth?
The rigid layer that includes the upper part of the mantle and the crust of the Earth is called the lithosphere. This layer is divided into several tectonic plates that float on top of the partially molten asthenosphere below. The lithosphere is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates and the formation of geological features on Earth.
Is the lithosphere liquid?
No. The lithosphere consists of the crust and the rigid uppermost part of the mantle. Therefore it is solid.
Is earths Lithosphere the rigid outer shell of the planet?
Yes. Well, more or less rigid.
What substance is the lithosphere made of?
Rigid, brittle rock.
Is earth's lithosphere the rigid outer shell of the planet?
Yes. Well, more or less rigid.
Does lithosphere and asthenosphere mean terms differ?
Yes. The lithosphere consists of the uppermost layers of Earth: the crust and the rigid portion of the mantle. The asthenosphere is the layer below the lithosphere, consisting of rock with a plastic texture.
Is the lithosphere a solid or a liquid?
according to scientists, the lithosphere is solid
Is the asthenosphere relatively cool and rigid shell that overlies the lithosphere?
Yes, the cool and rigid shell is the asthenosphere.
Which make up the hard and rigid surface of the earth?
The lithosphere makes up the rigid surface of the Earth.
What do the rigid crust and the uppermost mantle form?
it forms the lithosphere
Rigid layer of the earth surrounding the asthenosphere?
The Lithosphere
