What is deformable rock under the lithosphere?
the upper part of mantle is called lithosphere.
What is layer of the rock around the earth is called?
LITHOSPHERE.
Is the lithosphere a gas?
The lithosphere is composed of the brittle rock that forms the outer layer of the planet. The lithosphere is divided into plates which move independently from each other.
Is magma molten rock formed in the asthenophere?
No, it is not. It is found in the lithosphere. The lithosphere is between the mantle and the crust.
How is the lithosphere different then the adthosphere?
The lithosphere is defined as the crust plus the brittle, uppermost mantle to which it is attached. The part of the upper mantle called the asthenosphere is ductile, and is the portion of the mantle on which the lithosphere 'floats'. Essentially, it is a difference in the degree of ductility. The lithosphere is brittle; the mantle is ductile.
What is the outermost rock?
It is called the lithosphere.
What is deformable rock under the lithosphere?
the upper part of mantle is called lithosphere.
What is layer of the rock around the earth is called?
LITHOSPHERE.
What is the name of the molten rock above the lithosphere called?
Igneous Rocks
Is the lithosphere solid or liquid rock?
The Lithosphere is solid rock floating on molten rock.
The crust and uppermost mantle make up the rigid outer layer of earth called the?
The uppermost mantle and the crust makes the lithosphere.
Earths lithosphere is made of huge pieces of solid rock is called ..?
Lithospheric plates.
The crust and the uper mantle make up a zone of brittle rock called?
Lithosphere
Do submarines explore the lithosphere?
No, submarines do not explore the lithosphere. The word lithosphere is roughly equivalent to "rock sphere" and submarines don't move through rock.
Is the lithosphere a gas?
The lithosphere is composed of the brittle rock that forms the outer layer of the planet. The lithosphere is divided into plates which move independently from each other.
The layer on which the tectonic plates move is called the what?
It is called the asthenosphere, the layer of hot, ductile rock directly below the lithosphere.
What is a rock that is a sphere?
lithosphere
