Which force is responsible for earth's crust and lithosphere floating on the mantle?
convection currents in the upper mantle
What is the difference between an asteroid and a meteroid?
A metoriod is floating in space,a metor is falling trough our atmosphere, and a metorite is on the ground.
Does meteor and asteroids look alike?
No. meteors are the bits of dust and stone that burn up on entering Earth's atmosphere. Asteroids are larger rocky lumps floating round in space. We hope the larger ones do not meet Earth's atmosphere.
What are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?
The answer is tectonic plates floating on the lithosphere. Does that answer your question? LOL :)
What do geologists call the crust and upper core mantle?
Geologists have determined that our planet the Earth has a layered internal structure. There is a solid nickel iron core surrounded by a layer of molten iron. Above this there is the mantle and floating on top of the mantle there is the crust made of Oceanic and Continental materials.
Is the lithosphere solid or liquid rock?
The Lithosphere is solid rock floating on molten rock.
What are the slabs of the lithosphere floating on the molten mantle called?
They are called tectonic plates.
What do tectonic plates float on?
They are floating on the outer core
The crust and upper mantle are called the?
The crust and the upper mantle are a geological part of the earth called the lithosphere. There are 2 parts of the lithosphere: the oceanic lithosphere, which is made up of land underneath water, and the continental lithosphere, which is the the part made of just land. The lithosphere lies on top of the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is made up of tectonic plates, which are pieces of land floating on the lithosphere.
Which force is responsible for earth's crust and lithosphere floating on the mantle?
convection currents in the upper mantle
Which forces responsible for earths crust and lithosphere floating on the mantle?
convection currents in the upper mantle
What do you call a floating mass of of fresh water in the atmosphere?
a cloud
How do you call a visible mass of water floating in the atmosphere?
A cloud.
What is aplanet?
a planet is a large bit of rock floating in are atmosphere
What was the contents of the atmosphere when earth began?
floating semen everywhere
Are the plates of the crust floating in the ocean?
No. According to scientific theory, tectonic plates of the lithosphere (the Earth's crust and outermost mantle) are below the ocean.
How does the earth hold its Atmosphere?
With a force called gravity. Each atom and molecule of the atmosphere has an atomic weight, which keeps it from floating away into space.
