What is the lower boundary of crust?
Upper Mantle.
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 lower portion of the crust and the upper portion of the mantle called the core?
It is the Asthenosphere
Is the lower part of the mantle called the lithosphere or asthenosphere?
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.
What layer of the earth is immediately below the crust?
It is the upper and lower mantle. It has the consistency of warm asphalt.

What is the lower mantle beneath?
The lower mantle is beneath the crust.
Why is mantle hotter and denser than the crust?
The mantle is closer to the molten core of earth, so it is constantly heated by it. The crust is exposed to the atmosphere, which has some cooling effect, and the crust is, of course farthest from the core.
Is the lower mantle solid or liquid?
The lower part of the Mantle is liquid.
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 is the lower boundary of crust?
Upper Mantle.
What characteristics does the lower mantle have?
Rocks in the lower mantle are hot and soft (but not molten). The lower mantle flows slowly, at a rate of a few centimeters per year.
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.
How many kinds of crust are there?
only 1 crust. then the lithosphere, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, inner core.
Where does felsic?
Heat from the mantle melts part of the lower crust.
Which layer of earth is made up partly of crust and partly of mantle material?
the lithosphere is the full crust and top part of the mantle but the asthenosphere is just a little bit above the middle of the mantle but not any of he crust
Why does the oceanic crust sit lower in the mantle than the continental crust?
Oceanic crust is more dense than continental crust.
