Which layers of the earth compose the earth's plates?
The lithosphere (which is composed of the crust and solid brittle upper mantle) makes up the Earth's tectonic plates.
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 part of the earth behaves like a brittle solid?
The crust and the upper part of the mantle are the solid part of the Earth called the lithosphere.
What in the world is the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the solid, rocky layer covering the entire surface of the planet, composed of the crust and the hard uppermost mantle, and reacts to stresses as a brittle solid. The lithosphere ranges in thickness from 50 - 200 km and is fragmented into tectonic plates with boundaries where plates collide, diverge, or grind past each other.Lithosphere is the solid part of the Earth.Like land,and crops.The land part of the earth on the crust
What is the plastic zone below the upper mantle?
This is known as the asthenosphere. It lies below the lithosphere (composed of the upper mantle and crust).
Which layers of the earth compose the earth's plates?
The lithosphere (which is composed of the crust and solid brittle upper mantle) makes up the Earth's tectonic plates.
What is the earth's solid rigid outer layer that is composed of crust and mantle?
The Lithosphere comprises both Upper Mantle and Crust.
Plates are composed of the?
crust and part of the upper mantle

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.

The crust and the upper part of the mantle are the solid part of the Earth called the lithosphere.
What comprises the Earth's lithosphere?
pie is awsome
Are plates composed of the crust and part of the upper mantle?
That is correct.
What sections are composed of the crust and apart of the upper mantle?
lithosphere

What is oceanic lithosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of crust and hard upper mantle. The oceanic lithosphere would be hard upper mantle and basaltic oceanic crust.
