What else can I help you with?
What do the uppermost layer of the mantle and the crust compose?
Combined, they form the lithosphere, the brittle outer shell of the Earth.
Which layer of earth contains asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is located in the upper mantle. The asthenosphere is below the lithosphere, the brittle outer shell of the Earth.
What is the layer of rock under the surface of the earth is called?
The lithosphere is the hard, brittle outer layer of the Earth, comprised of the crust and uppermost mantle.
What is the outer part of the earth composed of solid rock?
The lithosphere is the outer rocky shell of the Earth, based on the physical state of the material (brittle). The lithosphere is a combination of the crust, and the brittle uppermost mantle to which it is attached.
What is the outer part of the earth that is composed of solid rock?
The crust is the outermost rocky layer, based on division by chemistry. The lithosphere is the outer rocky shell of the Earth, based on the physical state of the material (brittle). The lithosphere is a combination of the crust, and the brittle uppermost mantle.

the top layer of the earth
Why are earthquakes described as earth shattering?
Earthquakes occur due to brittle failures in the Earth's lithosphere. Brittle failures occur where fractures propagate through the material. So an earthquake is literally the consequence of fracturing or shattering a part of the brittle outer layer of the earth. It could also be argued that they "shatter" the lives of the people affected by them.
Which layer of the earth contains the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is located in the upper mantle. The asthenosphere is below the lithosphere, the brittle outer shell of the Earth.
The thin rocky outer layer of Earth?
The thin layer of the outer Earth is called the crust.
What is the outer layer of earth that we walk called?
The outer layer of the Earth that we walk on is called the crust.
Is the mantle the Earth's out layer?
The crustis the Earth's outer layer.
Is the asthenosphere the partially molten layer of earths core?
The asthenosphere is partially molten; however, it is an interior layer which is separate from the Earth's inner and outer core. In fact, the asthenosphere is located directly under the lithosphere (the brittle outer shell of Earth), extending only a few hundred miles down from the surface.
