lithosphere
What else can I help you with?
What is the thick layer of earths interior that lies between the crust and the core?
the mantle, which contains the lithosphere, asthenosphere and the mesosphere
What is rigid layer of earths surface made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
Is the crust and the top layer of the mantle called lithosphere?
Yes the crust and the top layer of the mantle is called Lithosphere.
What is another name for the earths crust and upper mantle?
It is called the lithosphere.
Is the asthenosphere a plastic layer of rock in the mantle or is it a layer of earths crust and mantle?
The asthenosphere is a plastic layer of rock located in the upper mantle, below the lithosphere (earth's crust and uppermost mantle). It is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates due to its partially molten and ductile nature.
What is the thick layer of earths interior that lies between the crust and the core?
the mantle, which contains the lithosphere, asthenosphere and the mesosphere
Rigid layer of earths surface made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
lithosphere
What solid layer between the inner mantle and the lithosphere?
I dont think there is a solid layer between the Lowwer Mantle and the Lithosphere. The only layer which lies in this region is the Asthenosphere, which is a Weak Zone and in Molten State.
This solid layer is found between the inner core and the lithosphere?
Although the bottom of the lithosphere is also part of the mantle, the answer is the mantle.
What is the crust and the upper mantle are called?
The crust and uppermost hard rocky mantle, together, is known as the lithosphere, which is above the plastic-like upper mantle area known as the asthenosphere.
What layer of the earth forms the earths plates?
Tectonic plates are floating on the magma (semi-molten rocks) of the mantle layer. Therefore, they form the crust layer of the Earth.
What layer contains the lithosphere asthenosphere and mesosphere?
The lithosphere, asthenosphere, and mesosphere are all located within the Earth's upper mantle, which is part of the mantle layer. The lithosphere is the rigid outermost layer of the Earth, including the crust and uppermost mantle. The asthenosphere is a partially molten layer below the lithosphere, while the mesosphere is a solid layer beneath the asthenosphere.
What is a rigid layer made up of the crust and the upper part of the earths mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
What is between the mantle and the lithosphere of the earth?
Actually, the uppermost mantle is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere consists of the crust and attached uppermost rigid mantle.
What parts of earths structure combine to form lithosphere?
The layer just below Earth's crust is the mantle. It is the thickest layer, and is composed of flowing rock material. The solid upper part of the mantle joins with the crust to form the lithosphere
What are the three layers of the mantle?
Lithosphere is the layer clostest to the earths crust. It is the layer that contains the sial and sima. Asthenosphere is the next layer clostest to the earths crust. Mesosphere is the inner most layer of the mantle than it goes to the core... Outer core, and inner core
The lithosphere includes the uppermost part of earths mantle and earths?
The lithosphere consists of the rigid outermost layer of Earth, which includes the crust and a portion of the upper mantle. It is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath. This layer is where most geological activity, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, occurs.
