The upper mantle and the lower mantle.
The lower part of the mantle is called the "lower mantle" or "mesosphere", while the upper part of the mantle is referred to as the "upper mantle" or "asthenosphere".
Yes, it is the top part of the Earth's mantle
The mantle is counted as the middle part of the earth
Yes, it is the top part of the Earth's mantle
No, although a large part of the mantle forms the mesosphere, the upper brittle mantle is part of the lithosphere and the ductile layer of the mantle below this is formed of the asthenosphere. The mantle below the asthenosphere (i.e. that part from 700 km down to the core-mantle boundary is the mesosphere).
The Lower Mantle
Mantle is part of the Earth's lithosphere.
The part of the mantle below the lithosphere is called the Asthenosphere.
No. The asthenosphere is part of the upper mantle.
The asthenosphere lies in, and is the upper ductile part of, the mantle. It is the layer directly underneath the lithosphere; the layer composed of the crust and uppermost rigid mantle.
The lower part of the mantle is actually names the mesosphere. It is overlain by the asthenosphere which is part of the upper mantle and this in turn is overlain by the lithosphere which is made up of the very uppermost mantle and the crust.
It's called the lower mantle.
