Which layer of earth is thin rigid rock layer?
it is the crust because the crust is thin and rigid with rock
Earth's solid inner layer is surrounded by the hot molten metal of which layer?
outer core
Rigid layer of the earth surrounding the asthenosphere?
The Lithosphere
Which layer is composed of solid rocks and hot molten rock?
mantle
What is a soft layer of molten rock under the earths surface?
If there were such a thing it would not be soft, it would be liquid, and would be called magma. There really is no completely molten layer of Earth except for the outer core which is composed primarily of liquid iron along with some nickel and other trace elements.
What plates float on a underlying molten layer?
Tectonic plates float on an underlying molten layer.
What is the rocky rigid layer of the earth?
The rigid, rocky layer of the Earth is called the lithosphere.
What is the rigid layer of earth surrounding the asthenosphere?
The rigid layer of earth surrounding the asthenosphere is the lithosphere.
Which layer of earth is thin rigid rock layer?
it is the crust because the crust is thin and rigid with rock
Which layer of the Earth is rigid but molten?
A substance can't be rigid and molten. I wonder if you are confused by the lower mantle, also called the asthenosphere, which is not molten but can flow. In any case the layers are:The crust, which is solid rock and therefore rigid, though of course sufficient force will deform or fracture it.The mantle, which is essentially solid though the lower parts can flow much like asphalt under extreme pressure.The outer core, which is liquid iron and nickel.The inner core, which is solid iron and nickel.
What layer of earth is made up of hot molten rocks?
The outer core is the only molten layer of the Earth. == ==
What is the rigid upper layer of the earth?
crust
What is the rigid layer of rock in of crust called?
you
What is a rigid layer made up of the uppermost part of the mantle and crust?
The rigid layer that is the upper mantle and crust is called the lithosphere.
The outermost rigid layer of the earth is called?
The outermost rigid layer of the earth is called the crust.
What is the partially molten layer of earth called?
The asthenosphere.
What is the outermost rigid physical layer of earth?
core
