What are the 5 physical layers of the earth?
Inner core, outer core, asthenosphere, lithosphere, and crust.
What is the composition of the athenosphere?
The Athenosophere is the layer below the lithosphere in the mantle. It can bend like plastic, but if you kicked it, you would stub your toe.
What is the physical properties of the mesosphere?
Solid
How do physical properties of the asthenosphere support the ideas of continental drift and sea floor spreading?
The asthenosphere allows tectonic plates to move
What are the layers of the earth and its composition?
Mechanical layering of the earth: - Lithosphere (solid/rigid), 0-150km - Asthenosphere (solid/elastic), 150-660km - Mantle (solid/rigid), 660- 2900km - Outer core (liquid), 2900-5730km - Inner core, 5730-6400km Chemical layering of the earth: - Crust (oceanic and continental), 0-40km - Mantle, 40-2900km - Core, 2900-6400km
What are earth's physical layers in sequence?
The Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Mesosphere, outer core and Inner core.
What type of Earth layers are the lithosphere asthenosphere mesosphere outer core and inner core?
They are physical layers as opposed to chemical layers.
Are the Earth's 5 physical layers these Inner Core Outer Core Mesosphere Asthenosphere and Lithosphere?
The 5 physical layers of the earth are exactly what you said. The 3 chemical layers of the earth are the crust, the mantle and the core.
What physical layer of earth is located beneath the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.
What is the physical layer of the earth between the mesosphere and the lithosphere?
Silt and tropica.
What features are the physical divided by?
lithosphere asthenospere mesosphere outercore innercore
What are the two physical layers of earth?
The two densest physical layers of the earth are the lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
What best describes the physical nature of the earth's lithosphere and the asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is rigid and commonly deforms in a brittle manner; the asthenosphere tends to flow slowly and deform in a plastic manner.
What are the two physical layers of the earth are densest?
The two densest physical layers of the earth are the lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
What two layers of the earth are densest?
The two densest physical layers of the earth are the lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
Solid layer just below the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the physical layer of the Earth that contains the crust and the brittle uppermost mantle.
What are the 5 physical layers of the earth?
Inner core, outer core, asthenosphere, lithosphere, and crust.
