What is the rigid layer that includes the upper part of the mantle and the crust of the Earth?
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and uppermost mantle. Combined, they form the lithospheric plates.
What is a large block of the crust and the rigid outermost part of the mantle?
pop
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.
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.
Is the crust a convection?
No. The crust is too rigid to convect. The mantle convects, and this convection is part of what controls the movement of tectonic plates.
What is a rigid layer made up of the uppermost part of the mantle and crust?
The rigid layer that is the upper mantle and crust is called the lithosphere.

What is the rigid layer made up of the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust?
Lithosphere
What part of the mantle is the asthenosphere found?
The asthenosphere lies in, and is the upper ductile part of, the mantle. It is the layer directly underneath the lithosphere; the layer composed of the crust and uppermost rigid mantle.
What is the rigid layer of the earth the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
Is the lithosphere liquid?
No. The lithosphere consists of the crust and the rigid uppermost part of the mantle. Therefore it is solid.
The rigid layer of earth that includes the entire crust and the uppermost part of the mantle is called the?

What is the rigid layer of Earth's surface made up of the crust and part of the upper mantle?
Lithosphere.
