The Asthenosphere is part of the Mantle of the Earth
What is the layer of the earth on top of the mantle?
The crust.
Is magma the idea that the earth's crust is broken into plates that move on top of the mantle?
The idea that the earth's crust is broken into plates that move on top of the mantle is known as the theory of plate tectonics.Magma is the name given to molten rock below the Earth's surface.
Why does Earth's crust sit on top of the mantle?
The crust lies on top of the mantle because it is composed of less dense materials than the mantle is. The crust is essentially floating on the mantle.

The top part of the mantle and the crust above it form the hydrosphere or lithosphere?
The top part of the mantle and the crust above it form into lithosphere.
What is the name of earths outer layer?
The crust is the top layer we live on, followed by the mantle and then the core.
What is the name of the upper rocky layer of Earth that includes the crust and the top part of the mantle?
the lithosphere
Why does the earth's crust sit on top of the mantel?
The outer core is composed of molten iron and nickel, which is much denser than the material that composes the mantle. So, in a sense, the mantle floats on top of the core just as the crust floats on top of the mantle.
What is the layer of the earth on top of the mantle?

Is mantle and crust a layer of earth?
