What is the composition of the materials during physical change?
The chemical composition is not changed during a physical process.
What is earth composition of the lithosphere?
The lithosphere, or sphere of rock, is made up primarily of granitic and basaltic rock. It averages 100 kilometers in thickness. It is the outermost rigid unit of life.
What are the three physical zones of the environment?
troposphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere
What physical layer of Earth is fractured into large rock plates?
The lithosphere.
How does a chemical differ from a physical change?
A physical change is different than a chemical change, because in a physical change, the composition of the matter did not change. While in a chemical change, the composition of the matter did change.SO basically, the composition of the matter does not change is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change.yes
What describes the composition of the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock.
List the layers of earth by their chemical composition and by their physical properties?
by the chemical composition is: the crust, the mantle (upper mantle and mantle), and the core. (you can put inner or outer) by the physical property is: lithosphere, asthenosphere, outer core, inner core. hope i helped
What is the lithosphere's composition?
The lithosphere includes all of the crust of the earth as well as the uppermost part of the mantle. It is made up of rocks.
In a physical change some of the physical properties of the substance may be altered and the chemical composition?
No. In a physical change, the substance maintains its chemical composition.
How are oceanic lithosphere continental lithosphere alike?
Both can be divided into a layer of crust laying on top of the uppermost part of the mantle, which is fairly rigid and ultramafic in composition.
What is the composition of the materials during physical change?
The chemical composition is not changed during a physical process.
What is earth composition of the lithosphere?
The lithosphere, or sphere of rock, is made up primarily of granitic and basaltic rock. It averages 100 kilometers in thickness. It is the outermost rigid unit of life.
What do the Physical Systems of the earth include?
lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere
What physical layer of earth is located beneath the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.
What are the three physical zones of the environment?
troposphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere
What are the two physical layers of earth?
The two densest physical layers of the earth are the lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
Is the crust and the mantle brittle or is the crust and lithosphere brittle?
In order to answer this you need to understand the difference between the compositional layers of the earth and the physical layers. The crust and mantle are differing layers of the earth based on chemical composition. The lithosphere is a layer of the earth defined based on it's physical or mechanical properties (how it deforms). The lithosphere is composed of the crust and the portion of the upper mantle which deforms elastically and fails in a brittle manner (fractures can propagate through the material). So in the question where you ask is the crust and lithosphere brittle, the answer is yes as the crust is entirely part of the lithosphere which by definition is brittle. However as described above, a section of the upper mantle is also a brittle solid and so that too is part of the lithosphere. However below this, the mantle behaves as a ductile solid.
