What are interesting facts about the lithosphere?
The word Lithosphere means ball of stone in Greek.The Lithosphere was first found by a seismographThe lithosphere is made up of the crust and uppermost brittle mantle.
What is earths lithosphere made out of?
it is made out of the outer mantle and the crust.
Is the lithosphere made up of all of the liquid frozen or gaseous water on Earth?
Not. That is the hydrosphere. The lithosphere is composed of stone.
How are the lithoshphere and asthenosphere similar and how are they different?
The differences and similarities between lithosphere and asthenosphere are as follows. Lithoshphere is made up of rigid rocks flowing above asthenosphere. Asthenosphere has rocks that are more plastic like because they can flow even tho they are still solid rock. The top part of asthenosphere is the same as the lower part of lithosphere, if the top part of asthenosphere cools it then becomes part of lithosphere. Lithosphere and asthenosphere are both made up of the upper part of the mantle on Earth but Lithosphere is also made up of the crust.
The mantle is made of what structural zones?
The upper mantle is part of the brittle lithosphere and the middle and lower mantle form the ductile asthenosphere.
The crust and upper mantle are called the?
The crust and the upper mantle are a geological part of the earth called the lithosphere. There are 2 parts of the lithosphere: the oceanic lithosphere, which is made up of land underneath water, and the continental lithosphere, which is the the part made of just land. The lithosphere lies on top of the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is made up of tectonic plates, which are pieces of land floating on the lithosphere.
What is Lithosphere made up of?
The solid outer zone of the Earth is the lithosphere. The lithosphere is made up of the upper layer of the mantle and the crust of the Earth.
The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. What do these layers of the lithosphere have in common How are they different?

What are facts about the lithosphere?

What are facts the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is made up of the crust and uppermost brittle mantle.
How far is it to the lithosphere from the crust?
The crust is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper mantle. Therefore, there is no spatial distance between the lithosphere and the crust.
What is the term for the cool outer layer of the earth made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle?
Lithosphere
What is under the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the Earth's crust. Which is mostly made up of rocks.
