Are the crust and the lithosphere brittle?
The lithosphere, which consists of the crust and uppermost mantle, is considered hard and brittle, unlike the asthenosphere, where rock is considered ductile.
What is the name of the outerlayer of the lithosphere?
The crust is the outer layer of the lithosphere.
The lithosphere includes all of the?
The lithosphere consists of the crust and the rigid, uppermost part of the mantle.
What are four differences between the oceanic crust and the continental crust?
1. The Oceanic crust is dense while the Continental crust is relatively lighter. 2. The Oceanic crust consists of Silicon and Magnessium, while the Continental crust has Silicon and Alluminium. 3. The Oceanic crust is thin, while the Continental crust is thick. 4. The Oceanic crust makes up the ocean floor, while the Continental crust carries the continents.
The asthenosphere is part of which layer of the earth?
The Asthenosphere is part of the Mantle of the Earth

What are the Earth's lithosphere like?
The earth's lithosphere consists of it's crust, and it's upper mantle.
Is the lithosphere liquid?
No. The lithosphere consists of the crust and the rigid uppermost part of the mantle. Therefore it is solid.
Which layer of the Earth is the only layer that is known to contain life?
The only layer of the earth to contain life is the crust. The crust consists of two parts: the continental crust and the oceanic crust. The oceanic crust is below the oceans and is 4-7 miles thick. The continental crust is the surface you see. It is mostly water and 29% land.
