What is the earths very top of the mantle combined?
The very top of Earth's mantle is known as the lithosphere. It is a rigid layer that consists of both the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust above it. The lithosphere is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath it.
Are plates made of Earth's crust and asthenosphere?
Tectonic plates are formed from the lithosphere which is the solid brittle portion of the upper mantle and the crust so tectonic plates are part of both the crust and the upper brittle mantle.
The thickness of the earths mantle?
The Earth's mantle is about 2,890 km (or 1,800 mi) thick.
how are boiling milk and earth crust the same?
Earths crust can break under pressure and milk can break its foundation from pressure, both are different types of pressure, but still
Which of these forms as crust drops along a divergent boundary across a continental plate?
When continental crust meets continental crust, both are too buoyant to be subducted into the mantle. Therefore they collide, creating a mountain range.
Is the earths core hotter than both the crust and the mantle?
Yes it is
Is the earth core hotter than both the crust and the mantle?
Yes it is
Is the earth's core hotter than both the crust and the mantle?
Yes it is
What is each layer of earths starting from earths center include both layers of the core and all of the layers of the mantle?
Inner core (probably solid); outer core (probably liquid); mantle, crust.
How does the earths mantle differ from its crust?
Inner core: 2450 km thick Outer core: 2300 km thick Lower mantle: 2500 km thick Upper Mantle: 400 km thick continental crust: 30-70 km thick Oceanic Crust: 6 km thick
Which layer of the earth contains the crust and upper mantle?
The layer of the Earth that contains both the crust and upper mantle is called the Lithosphere.

What does the crust mantle and the core all have in common?
There are a number of similarities between mantle and crust. They are both found below the surface of they earth and the main components in both are rocks.
What is the earth's solid rigid outer layer that is composed of crust and mantle?
The Lithosphere comprises both Upper Mantle and Crust.
Which layer of Earth is composed of both the crust and the rigid mantle?
Lithosphere
How are the mantle and crust alike?
They both have minerals and rocks
