The mantle extends to the core-mantle interface at approximately 2900 km depth. Thus, the mantle contains the lower portion of the lithosphere, the asthenosphere, and the mesosphere. The crust is made of the upper portion of the lithosphere.

Which layer of the earth contains the lower mantle?
The mesosphere is the sphere that contains the lower mantle. It is located above the outer core and under the lithosphere and asthenosphere.
What is the lower layer of the mantle called?
The mesosphere
Where is the lower mantle in the inside earth?
Well there is the crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and the inner core. So, the lower mantle is the 3rd one down.
Is the mantle a soild or liquid?
the lower mantle is a soild.
What are the 2 types of mantle?
the upper mantle(lithosphere)and the lower mantle(mesosphere)
What contains the asthenosphere and the lower mantle?
The answer to this question would be the mantle.
Which layer contains the lower mantle?
Mesosphere

What layer contains the lithosphere asthenosphere and mesosphere?
The layer containing the Lithosphere, Asthenosphere and Mesosphere is the Mantle. The Upper Mantle composes of the Lithosphere while the Lower Mantle composes the Asthenosphere.
What is the lower layer of the mantle called?
The mesosphere
What is above the lower mantle?
The middle mantle is just above the lower mantle.
What is the lower part of the mantle callet?
The Lower Mantle
What is the lower mantle beneath?
The lower mantle is beneath the crust.
What are the part of the mantle?
The upper mantle and the lower mantle.
What is the Difference between the upper and lower mantle?
Working outwards from the centre: The Earth is believed to be formed of an inner core, outer core, inner mantle, outer mantle, and the crust. The mantle is two thousand miles thick and makes up more than three-quarters of the Earth's volume.
Why is the lower mantle more rigid and dense then the asthenosphere in the upper mantle?
The lower mantle is older and cooler than the upper mantle. Thank you for reading this I'm comment if you like one direction(: hehe
