Which layer of earth is made up partly of crust and partly of mantle material?

the lithosphere is the full crust and top part of the mantle but the asthenosphere is just a little bit above the middle of the mantle but not any of he crust


What layers of earth makes up the lithosphere?

Crust and the upper mantle


How dense is the continental crust?

less dense than the material of the Earth's mantle


Between the crust and the core what makes up most of earth's material?

MANTLE


Is the layer of hot solid material between earth's crust and core?

It is the Mantle.


The section of earth beneath the crust?

Mantle Is The Below Layer Of The Crust In Earth.


What is the layer of hot solid material between earth's crust and outer core?

The layer of hot solid material between the Earth's crust and outer core is called the mantle. It is composed of silicate rocks and is divided into the upper mantle and lower mantle. Heat from the Earth's core causes convection currents in the mantle, which drive the movement of tectonic plates.


How is crust different than mantle?

The crust is the ground that people have built the building and have grown the trees on. The mantle on the other hand is way down into the earth. It has the magma and gasses and other material in it. The difference is that we can not stand on the mantle or we will burn. the crust is the outer layer of the earth, while the mantle is inside near the core.


How do you spell the anthenosphere?

The athenosphere is the layer of material (upper mantle) immediately below the Earth's crust.


What parts of earth's structure combine to form the lithosphere?

The lithosphere is composed of the uppermost part of the mantle and the Earth's crust. The crust is divided into oceanic and continental crust, which rests on the more rigid upper mantle. This combination forms the lithosphere, which is responsible for the tectonic plate movements on Earth's surface.


What are the 3 main layers of the earth?

The three main layers of the Earth are the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the outermost layer that we live on, the mantle is a thick layer beneath it, and the core is at the center of the Earth.


How is heat transfer in the earths mantle related to the movement of the earths crust?

Heat transfer in the Earth's mantle drives the movement of the Earth's crust through the process of convection. As mantle material heats up, it becomes less dense and rises, causing the overlying crust to move. At the same time, cooler mantle material sinks back down, completing the cycle of heat transfer and driving the continuous motion of tectonic plates.
