What else can I help you with?
Solid layer just below the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the physical layer of the Earth that contains the crust and the brittle uppermost mantle.
How are the asthenosphere and lithosphere involed with plate tectonics?
The lithosphere is the brittle surface layer composed of the crust and uppermost mantle. The asthenosphere is the ductile upper mantle on which the lithosphere is able to move.
What do geologists call the crust and the upper most mantle?
Lithosphere
Earth's crust and uppermost mantle make up the?
Lithosphere
Between earths lithosphere and its core is its?
After the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, then comes the lower mantle. After that is the outer core, and then is the inner core.
How does the upper mantle affect the lithosphere?
The upper mantle is a part of the Earth's mantle that is located just below the lithosphere. It plays a key role in the movement of tectonic plates that make up the lithosphere. Convection currents in the upper mantle drive the movement of tectonic plates, leading to processes such as plate tectonics, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
What layer contains the lithosphere asthenosphere and mesosphere?
The lithosphere, asthenosphere, and mesosphere are all located within the Earth's upper mantle, which is part of the mantle layer. The lithosphere is the rigid outermost layer of the Earth, including the crust and uppermost mantle. The asthenosphere is a partially molten layer below the lithosphere, while the mesosphere is a solid layer beneath the asthenosphere.
What are the 2 types of mantle?
the upper mantle(lithosphere)and the lower mantle(mesosphere)
The crust and uppermost mantle make up the rigid outer layer of earth called the?
The uppermost mantle and the crust makes the lithosphere.
What is the crust and the upper mantle are called?
The crust and uppermost hard rocky mantle, together, is known as the lithosphere, which is above the plastic-like upper mantle area known as the asthenosphere.
Is the upper mantle part of the lithosphere or asthenosphere?
The The crust and the uppermost layer of the mantle form the lithosphere. The asthenosphere, which is still in the upper mantle, is the next layer down.
What is part of mantle below the lithosphere called?
The part of the mantle below the lithosphere is called the Asthenosphere.
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.
Which of the following is part of the Earths lithosphere SoilMagma None of these Mantle, magma, and soil Mantle?
Mantle is part of the Earth's lithosphere.
Solid layer just below the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the physical layer of the Earth that contains the crust and the brittle uppermost mantle.
What is the lithosphere of the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and uppermost hard, brittle mantle.
What composes mantle?
The mantle is composed of the asthenosphere and the lithosphere.
