If you are using the term 'upper crust' euphemistically and not to refer to bread or pies, then the upper crust is made of aristocrats. If you mean the upper part of the earth's crust, then it is made of the lightest elements from which the planet is made (silicon, aluminum etc).

The asthenosphere is part of which layer of the earth?
The Asthenosphere is part of the Mantle of the Earth
Are plates made of Earth's crust and asthenosphere?
Tectonic plates are formed from the lithosphere which is the solid brittle portion of the upper mantle and the crust so tectonic plates are part of both the crust and the upper brittle mantle.
What is a rigid layer made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
What is the rigid layer of Earth's surface made up of the crust and part of the upper mantle?
Lithosphere.
What are the crust and part of the upper mantle known as?
lithenosphere
The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. What do these layers of the lithosphere have in common How are they different?

What is the earth interior made up of?
its made of a mantle, inner core, outter core and crust.......and a magnetic field. The interior is made up of the # crust # lithosphere (part of crust & upper mantle) # upper mantle # asthenosphere (more liquid-like part of mantle) # lower mantle # outer core (liquid ball) # inner core (solid ball) ...is what im pretty sure of
What is the crust and the upper part of the mantle?
the lithosphere
What is a rigid layer made up of the uppermost part of the mantle and crust?
The rigid layer that is the upper mantle and crust is called the lithosphere.
Are tectonic plates made of mantle?
The solid portion of the upper mantle which behaves as a brittle solid is known as the lithospheric mantle. This part of the upper mantle along with the crust forms tectonic plates.
Rigid layer of earths surface made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
lithosphere
What is a rigid layer made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
What is the rigid layer of Earth's surface made up of the crust and part of the upper mantle?
Lithosphere.
Plates are composed of the?
crust and part of the upper mantle
The crust and part of the upper mantle are known as?
Asthenosphere
