What is produced by movements of faults around the lithosphere and asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is the Earth's outermost crust. The asthenosphere is a ductile, somewhat deformable, layer 60-150 miles (100-250 km) below the Earth's surface, under the lithosphere. Movements between the two layers cause earthquakes.
Is the lithosphere a gas?
The lithosphere is composed of the brittle rock that forms the outer layer of the planet. The lithosphere is divided into plates which move independently from each other.
What rock in the lithosphere called?
The lithosphere consists of the crust and upper mantle.
The layer directly under the Lithosphere?
the asthenosphere
Is magma molten rock formed in the asthenophere?
No, it is not. It is found in the lithosphere. The lithosphere is between the mantle and the crust.
What is astherosphere?
A zone of the earth's mantle that lies beneath the lithosphere and consists of several hundred kilometers of deformable rock.

Is the lithosphere solid or liquid rock?
The Lithosphere is solid rock floating on molten rock.
Do submarines explore the lithosphere?
No, submarines do not explore the lithosphere. The word lithosphere is roughly equivalent to "rock sphere" and submarines don't move through rock.

What is a rock that is a sphere?
lithosphere
What is an aeration zone?
An aeration zone is a portion of the lithosphere in which permeable rock is not filled by water under hydrostatic pressure.
What rock in the lithosphere called?
The lithosphere consists of the crust and upper mantle.
What is the greek root word for lithosphere?
The Greek root word for lithosphere is "lithos," which means "rock."
What describes the composition of the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock.
What layer of the Earth is mostly solid rock?
The lithosphere is the physical layer of hard brittle rock. The remainder of the mantle that is not contained in the lithosphere is the layer of ductile rock.
What layer of the earth is the solid rock layer?
The lithosphere is the physical layer of hard brittle rock. The remainder of the mantle that is not contained in the lithosphere is the layer of ductile rock.
