layer of the earth that consists of the earth that consists of the crust and water part of the mantle
What else can I help you with?
What is more dense lithoshere or asthenoshere?
Lithosphere
How does the material of the asthenosphere differ from the material of the lithoshere?
the material in the astehnosphere can flow slowly and the lithosphere flows on top of the astenosphere HOPE I HELPED!!
How is a continential listhophere different from a oceanic lithoshere?
There is only a slight difference between crust and lithosphere. The difference is that the lithosphere is part of the Earth that encompasses.
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 is the section of the lithoshere that slowly moves over the asthenosphere carrying pieces of the continental and oceanic crust and the answer is not magma?
I had this question on my science quiz and I missed it. I was also curious what the answer was. Now I know that the answer is simply " transform boundary".
What is the earths outer core?
The outer core is a liquid that is in between the inner core and mantle. It is 2,000km thick.
What is the lithoshere composed of?
The lithosphere is composed of the Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. It is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. The lithosphere is where most geological activity, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, occurs.
Does wildfires affect the lithoshere?
Yes, wildfires can affect the lithosphere by causing soil erosion, altering soil composition, and damaging plant roots that help stabilize the soil. The heat from a wildfire can also alter the properties of the rocks and minerals in the affected area.
What do you call the layer of tar like mantle under the tectonic plates?
The layer of tar-like mantle under the tectonic plates is called the asthenosphere. It is a partially molten and ductile region of the Earth's mantle that allows the lithospheric plates to move on top of it.
What is the top rocky layer of the crust?
The top rocky layer of the Earth's crust is called the lithosphere. It is composed of both the upper crust and the solid portion of the upper mantle and is divided into several large and small tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath.
What states that the earths lithoshere is broken into huge moving slabs of rock driven by motions in the mantle?
The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several large plates that move over the semi-fluid asthenosphere of the mantle. The motion of these plates is primarily driven by convection currents in the mantle.
Is snow part of the hydrosphere?
Melting snow adds water to streams, rivers and creeks. which then evaporates and falls back to Earth in the form of rain or snow
