The Lithosphere is solid rock floating on molten rock.
according to scientists, the lithosphere is solid
Lithosphere is solid part of earth .
The asthenosphere is a flowing solid. It's sort of a liquid and a solid.
solid rock
No. The lithosphere consists of the crust and the rigid uppermost part of the mantle. Therefore it is solid.
The lithosphere is a solid layer of the Earth comprising the crust and upper part of the mantle. It is neither a liquid nor a gas, but a rigid layer that rests on the more fluid asthenosphere below.
The lithosphere is the physical layer of hard brittle rock. The remainder of the mantle that is not contained in the lithosphere is the layer of ductile rock.
lithosphere or geosphere
The layer of the Earth that is mostly solid rock is the lithosphere. The lithosphere includes the Earth's crust and a portion of the upper mantle, and it is broken into tectonic plates that constantly move and interact with each other.
the rock that can flow like a liquid is a mantle because the mantle has two parts. The upper part is the solid rock. The solid rock of the mantle is part is the lithosphere. Below the solid rock, the mantle rock has the ability to flow like a liquid. Most of the mantle is made up of rock that can flow. Sanjida Ahmed 752/753
They are chemically the basic same type of rock. Heat and pressure cause the rock to become more fluid as depth increases, so the solid rock (termed lithosphere) floats upon the more liquid rock of the asthenosphere.
Litho is the Greek word for stone. Lithosphere means the solid part of the earth's surface.
