What is the term for the cool outer layer of the earth made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle?
Lithosphere
Tectonic plates are made from what part of the earth?
The lithosphere.
Which sphere of the earth is made up of plates?
The lithosphere.
The layer of the earth that is made up of plates?
The lithosphere.
What is the layer of the earth made of the crust and the mantle?
The lithosphere.
What is the layer of the Earth made of the the crust and the Mantle?
The lithosphere.
What is Lithosphere made up of?
The lithosphere is made up of the Earth's solid outer layer, including the crust and the upper portion of the mantle. It is composed of various types of rocks and minerals, and it is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below.
How are the lithosphere and the crust the same?
The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper mantle. On average the lithosphere extends about 100 km into the Earth's interior.
Is the lithosphere made up of all of the liquid frozen or gaseous water on Earth?
Not. That is the hydrosphere. The lithosphere is composed of stone.
The crust and upper mantle are called the?
The crust and the upper mantle are a geological part of the earth called the lithosphere. There are 2 parts of the lithosphere: the oceanic lithosphere, which is made up of land underneath water, and the continental lithosphere, which is the the part made of just land. The lithosphere lies on top of the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is made up of tectonic plates, which are pieces of land floating on the lithosphere.
What layer of earth is made of solid rock?
The layer of Earth made of solid rock is the lithosphere. It includes the Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle, and it is broken into tectonic plates that move and interact with each other.
What is the volume of the Earth's lithosphere?
The volume of Earth's lithosphere is estimated to be around 1010-1011 cubic kilometers. It is the outermost layer of the Earth made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle.
