What else can I help you with?
What is the crust and the upper mantle are called?
The crust and uppermost hard rocky mantle, together, is known as the lithosphere, which is above the plastic-like upper mantle area known as the asthenosphere.
Is the crust and the top layer of the mantle called lithosphere?
Yes the crust and the top layer of the mantle is called 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.
Which of the crust mantle core layers are located in the lithosphere?
The crust and uppermost part of the mantle (lithospheric mantle) are located in the lithosphere. The lithosphere is composed of the rigid outermost layer of Earth, including the crust and the solid upper part of the mantle.
What layer of earth makes up the plates?
the crust + lithosphere earth's crust: crust crust continental crust lithosphere crust continental and oceanic crust mantle asthenosphere mantle lower mantle mantle outer core outer core inner core inner core
What is the oceanic lithosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of crust and hard upper mantle. The oceanic lithosphere would be hard upper mantle and basaltic oceanic crust.
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.
The lithosphere includes all of the?
The lithosphere consists of the crust and the rigid, uppermost part of the mantle.
What is oceanic lithosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of crust and hard upper mantle. The oceanic lithosphere would be hard upper mantle and basaltic oceanic crust.
What layers make up the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is made up of two layers: the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. The crust is the outermost layer of the lithosphere and is composed of solid rock, while the upper mantle beneath it is also solid but more ductile.
Is the crust also the lithosphere?
Not exactly. The lithosphere is the crust and the top of the mantle (down to the asthenosphere).
What is a layer that is a crust and a mantle?
lithosphere
