Which part of earth's mantle is the most solid?
The most outer solid portion of the planet Earth is the crust.
How does the outer mantle differ from the inner mantle?
The outer mantle is part of the Earth's mantle that is closer to the surface, while the inner mantle is deeper within the Earth. The outer mantle is composed of solid rock that can flow slowly over geologic time, while the inner mantle is under higher pressure and temperature, making it more solid and rigid.
Is the outer mantle solid?
yes it is solid
What layer is not a part of the mantle?
The layer that is not part of the mantle is the outer core. The Earth's structure is typically divided into the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The outer core is composed primarily of liquid iron and nickel, while the mantle lies above it and is made up of solid rock.
What are the parts of earth called?
The Earth's layers are Crust, Outer Mantle, Inner Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core.
The strong lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core?
The lower part of the mantle is called the mesosphere.
What is the word lithosphere used to describe?
The lithosphere refers to the rigid outer layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. It includes the solid rock portion of the planet and is divided into tectonic plates that move and interact with each other.
Is the outer core solid liquid gas?
Mantle
What the central part of earth that consists of and inner and outer portion?
core: inner solid, outer molten. the mantle is also sometimes divided into lower & upper.
What is lithosphere the same as?
The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and upper part of the mantle. It is also known as the Earth's geosphere or solid outer shell.
What is the difference between the mantle and outer core of the Earth?
There are differences in chemistry (the mantle is mainly ultramafic rock--the outer core is metallic), in phase (the mantle is predominately solid--the outer core is liquid), in depth (the outer core is closer to the center of the Earth), and in density (the outer core is more dense).
Is the mantle solid liquid?
It is a solid from the liquid outer core all the way to the crust
