What is the center part of the earth before the mantle?
the core
Is the mesosphere the same as the mantle?
No, although a large part of the mantle forms the mesosphere, the upper brittle mantle is part of the lithosphere and the ductile layer of the mantle below this is formed of the asthenosphere. The mantle below the asthenosphere (i.e. that part from 700 km down to the core-mantle boundary is the mesosphere).
What is the name of the central part of earth below mantle?
It is the inner core.
What part of the earth is directly below the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is the upper part of the upper mantle.
What is listhosphere?
The lithosphere is a part of the mantle ( the layer of Earth just below the crust_
What is the central part of Earth below the mantle?
The central part of Earth below the mantle is the core. The core is divided into the outer core, made of liquid iron and nickel, and the inner core, which is solid due to high pressure despite being made of the same materials.
Mostly solid rocky part of the earth from center of core to the surface of the crust?
The mostly solid rocky part of the Earth extending from the center of the core to the surface of the crust is known as the mantle. It is divided into the upper mantle and the lower mantle, and consists mainly of solid rock composed of silicate minerals. The uppermost part of the mantle is partially molten, forming the asthenosphere.
What is part of mantle below the lithosphere called?
The part of the mantle below the lithosphere is called the Asthenosphere.
What part of the earths mantle that flows and moves the plates of the earth?
Mantle plumes are in the mantle, BELOW the Earth's crust. The circulation of heat from the lower mantle to the upper mantle can cause "hot spots" in the overlying crust, heating the magma in the areas.
What is the part of the earth in between the crust and the mantle is called?
The part of the Earth between the crust and the mantle is called the lithosphere. It includes the Earth's crust and the uppermost portion of the mantle, which together form a rigid layer. Below the lithosphere lies the asthenosphere, a semi-fluid layer of the mantle that allows for tectonic plate movement.
Which layer of the earth contains the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is located in the upper mantle. The asthenosphere is below the lithosphere, the brittle outer shell of the Earth.
Is the mantle is the thickest layer of Earth?
The mantle, by far, is the thickest layer of the Earth.
