What part of the earth is the crust and the very top of the mantle?
The part of the earth's crust that is at the very top of the mantle is the oceanic crust. Or combined with the upper mantle it is also known as the lithosphere.
The asthenosphere is part of which layer of the earth?
The Asthenosphere is part of the Mantle of the Earth
Are plates made of Earth's crust and asthenosphere?
Tectonic plates are formed from the lithosphere which is the solid brittle portion of the upper mantle and the crust so tectonic plates are part of both the crust and the upper brittle mantle.
What layer of the mantle contains tectonic plates?
The Lithosphere contains the tectonic plates. :)
The crust and the girid upper part of the mantle is found in what part of earth?
Earth's lithosphere includes the crust and the uppermost mantle, which constitute the hard and rigid outer layer of the Earth.
The crust and part of the upper mantle are known as?
Asthenosphere
The crust and part of the upper mantle are known as the what?
lithenosphere
What is the crust and the upper mantle are called?
The crust and uppermost hard rocky mantle, together, is known as the lithosphere, which is above the plastic-like upper mantle area known as the asthenosphere.

The asthenosphere is part of which layer of the earth?
The Asthenosphere is part of the Mantle of the Earth
What is the crust and the upper part of the mantle?
the lithosphere
Are tectonic plates made of mantle?
The solid portion of the upper mantle which behaves as a brittle solid is known as the lithospheric mantle. This part of the upper mantle along with the crust forms tectonic plates.
What is the another name for crust?
The Earth's crust is also known as the "lithosphere" but that term geologically includes the upper elastic part of the mantle.
What is the rigid part of the tectonic plates that is made up of oceanic crust or continental crust and the upper mantle?
the lithoseshere
Plates are composed of the?
crust and part of the upper mantle
On what part of the earth do the crustal plates float?
The Earth's crust, also called the lithosphere, floats on the upper layer of the mantle. This part of the mantle is known as the asthenosphere.
