What else can I help you with?
The layer directly under the Lithosphere?
The layer directly under the Lithosphere is the Asthenosphere. The Asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle that allows for the movement of the tectonic plates above it. It is hotter and more ductile compared to the rigid Lithosphere.
What layer lies beneath the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.
Which earth layer is found under the crust?
35 - 60 Kms would be the uppermost mantle, which along with the crust forms the hard, brittle lithosphere. The Mantle is a semi-molten layer.
lithosphere?
a rigid layer that can break under stress
What do plates float on?
Plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer, which is part of the upper mantle. This layer is under the lithosphere and allows the movement of the tectonic plates.
What layer lies above the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is basically the part of Earth that we stand on. It consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. Under the lithosphere is the mantle, then the outher and inner core. Over it? Technically, just the crust. Then...us.
Is asthenosohere part of the earth?
Yes it is. The Asthenosphere is a region in the upper region of the Earth's mantle. In fact, it is located directly under the crust, or the Lithosphere (land).
What part of the earth is the lithosphere?
yes because its under the 2nd layer of crust
Which of the Earth's layers is located just below the mantle?
The layer located just below the mantle is the outer core. It is composed of a liquid layer of iron and nickel that surrounds the solid inner core of the Earth.
What is the solid layer of the years that includes the crust and the upper mantle?
The solid layer of the Earth that includes the crust and the upper mantle is known as the lithosphere. It is characterized by its rigidity and is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath. The lithosphere varies in thickness, being thicker under continental regions and thinner under oceanic regions.
What is under the lithosphere?
Below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, a semi-solid layer of the upper mantle. This layer is partially molten, allowing for the movement of tectonic plates above it. The asthenosphere is hotter and more ductile compared to the rigid lithosphere above.
Which layer of the earth contains the lower mantle?
The lower mantle is located in the middle layer of the Earth's interior, known as the mantle. The mantle is divided into two main regions: the upper mantle and the lower mantle. The lower mantle is situated beneath the upper mantle and above the outer core.
