What region of earth is directly below the lithosphere?
asthenosphere
Where does the layer lies below the lithosphere?
The lithosphere lies above the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is where isostatic adjustments take place and it is a very ductile region. Seismic waves pass slower through this region of the earth than they do through the overlying lithosphere.
Weaker region in the mantle over which Earth's outer shell lies?
Lithosphere. . . . . . . . . . .
What is the region where oceanic lithosphere sinks into the asthenosphere?
deep ocean trenches
Rigid blocks of earths crust and upper mantel?
There is no specific term for such a general block. "Lithospheric block" would be acceptable, but it would be best to describe exactly what you mean by it.
Where is the region where the lithosphere meets the mantle?
asthenosphere -- a+
What is the region where lithosphere meets the mantle?
The Mohorovicic Discontinuity.
What are the parts of the lithosphere called?
The parts of the Lithosphere are the crust, mantel and core.
What is the lithosphere moved by?
The lithosphere, (The "gooey" part of the mantel that is between the crust) Is moved by convection currents.
What is called the crust And the upper mantle called?
lithosphere
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
Part of mantel below lithosphere?
i don't know that's why im on here
What is the uppermost mantel make up the rigid outer layer of earth called?
lithosphere
What are the layers of the mantel?
-from top to bottom- Lithosphere Asthenosphere Outer core Inner Core
What is another word for asthenosphere-?
Other words that can be used for asthenosphere are crust and mantel.
What is a thin outer shell of the earth consisting of the crust and the ridge upper mantel?
CRUST (lithosphere)
What are the layers under the earth?
There is the crust. Then the mantel which consists of the lithosphere, the asthenosphere, and the mesosphere. Then last there is the outer and inner core.
