What part of the earth is the crust and the very top of the mantle?
The part of the earth's crust that is at the very top of the mantle is the oceanic crust. Or combined with the upper mantle it is also known as the lithosphere.
What is the earths very top of the mantle combined?
The very top of Earth's mantle is known as the lithosphere. It is a rigid layer that consists of both the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust above it. The lithosphere is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath it.
Why the crust and the solid upper mantle are taken as one layer?
cause it very bobo
What is the lithosphere short definition?
the lithosphere is the Earth's crust and the very top of the mantle together
mantle?
semi solid , rocky , and very hot layer
Earths crust and the very top of the mantle combined?
The Earth's crust and the very top of the mantle combined is called the lithosphere. It is the rigid outermost part of the Earth.

How is the mixture of cornstarch and water different from the Earths Mantle?
the earths mantle is very hot were cornstarch is not hot at all

How is crust different from mantle?
The crust is the layer we are able to live on. The mantle is very hot and we would be killed by the heat.
The mantle is very hot what happens to the rock which are part of the crust?
the rocks from the crust will melt
What is the composition and approximate thickness of the mantle?
Earths mantle is less dense and very hot. The mantle is 2885km thick.
What does earths plates float on?
Earth is made up of: the inner core, the outer core, the mantle, and the crust. The crust of the earth, or the outer rocky layer, is divided between oceanic crust and continental crust. These crusts float atop the mantle, which is made up of very hot molten rock. All of the continents, including Australia, are constantly moving, or floating.
Why do the earths continents float on the liquids mantle of the earth?
The continents "float" on the liquid mantle of the Earth because the metals that make up the mantle are very dense. The continents move when magma is pushed through the crust of the Earth in places like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Is the lithospere located in the crust?
The lithosphere includes the crust and the very top of the mantle. The lithosphere is cool and brittle.
