Rigid layer of the earth surrounding the asthenosphere?
The Lithosphere
How are the lithoshphere and asthenosphere similar and how are they different?
The differences and similarities between lithosphere and asthenosphere are as follows. Lithoshphere is made up of rigid rocks flowing above asthenosphere. Asthenosphere has rocks that are more plastic like because they can flow even tho they are still solid rock. The top part of asthenosphere is the same as the lower part of lithosphere, if the top part of asthenosphere cools it then becomes part of lithosphere. Lithosphere and asthenosphere are both made up of the upper part of the mantle on Earth but Lithosphere is also made up of the crust.
What makes up earth's lithospere?
The Earth's lithosphere is made up of the uppermost layer of the crust, as well as the rigid mantle. It is composed of rocks, minerals, and various geological formations. The lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that float on the underlying semi-fluid asthenosphere.
What is the partially melted part of earth that carries the crust?
It is called the asthenosphere.
What do geologists call the crust and the uppermost mantle?
lithosphere
Rigid layer of the earth surrounding the asthenosphere?
The Lithosphere
How is the lithosphere similar to the asthenosphere?
There both in the mantle
How are the lithosphere and asthenosphere similar?
lithosephere is the uppermost part of a mantel and the mantel and the crust together and the asthenosphere is less riggid
What are the two parts of the lithospere?
The two parts of the lithospere are called mantle and the outercore.
What are the atmosphere lithospere and hydrospere?
the force

What is the temperature of the lithospere?
very hot and is on earth
What do you call pieces of the lithospere?
Plattes i think.?
What is the part of the mantle below the lithospere?
asthenospere
What is true about the lithospere plates?
they constantly move
What is the part of mantle below the lithospere?
asthenospere
