Explain the differences between the crust and the lithosphere?
The Litosphere is the outermost,rigid layer of the Earth and the Crust is the outermost layer of the Earth
What causes the pressure to allow diamonds to form in the mantle?
The weight of the rocks in the crust and upper mantle.
What is likely to form where oceanic crust is subducted under continental crust?
because oshieotic crust is under Mantle is thicker
Does every volcano form in the mantle?
No, the Earth's mantle is to deep and warm for this. Magmas are generated in the upper mantle by a process called partial melting and the melt collects in the crust (in magma chambers at varying depth).
What parts of earth's structure combine to form the lithosphere?
The layer just below Earth's crust is the mantle. It is the thickest layer, and is composed of flowing rock material. The solid upper part of the mantle joins with the crust to form the lithosphere
What do the rigid crust and the uppermost mantle form?
it forms the lithosphere
What is the rigid layer that includes the upper part of the mantle and the crust of the Earth?
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and uppermost mantle. Combined, they form the lithospheric plates.
What is crust and upper mantle of the EARTH?
The upper mantle is in between the lower mantle and the earths crust Crust- the outer most solid shell of the earth. The Uppermost mantle and the earth's crust form the lithosphere.
What do the uppermost layer of the mantle and the crust compose?
Combined, they form the lithosphere, the brittle outer shell of the Earth.
Is the upper mantle part of the lithosphere or asthenosphere?
The The crust and the uppermost layer of the mantle form the lithosphere. The asthenosphere, which is still in the upper mantle, is the next layer down.
Explain the differences between the crust and the lithosphere?
The Litosphere is the outermost,rigid layer of the Earth and the Crust is the outermost layer of the Earth
Which layers form earths rigid mobile tectonic plates?
The metals have to be dug from the ground where they have to dig down very deep to reach the ore by using very big drills and mining machines. They have to use lifts to get the miners down to the gowned and have to use pips to get air so that the miners can breathe. They also have to use trains to bring up the ore to the surface and then it is put in big trucks to be taken off to the factories.
What elements make up the asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of the oceanic and continental crust, along with the rigid upper mantle. The asthenosphere is the plastic like upper mantle directly below the lithosphere where rock can move, bend, and deform without breaking.
The top part of the mantle and the crust above it form the hydrosphere or lithosphere?
The top part of the mantle and the crust above it form into lithosphere.
Is the mantle below or beside the crust?
The Earth's mantle is below the crust. The layers of the Earth form concentric spheres. Below the mantle is the core.
How would you describe the plates that form earth's crust rigid or half-melted?
rigid
How would you describe the plates that form earths crust rigid or half melted?
rigid
