Which layer of earth lies below the crust?
The asthenosphere and the mantle.
How does the asthenosphere differ from the mesosphere?
The asthenosphere (from Greek asthenēs 'weak' + sphere) is the mechanically weak ductily-deforming region of the upper mantle of the Earth. It lies below the lithosphere, at depths between 100 and 200 km (~ 62 and 124 miles) below the surface, but perhaps extending as deep as 400 km (~ 249 miles). Mesosphere, aka, mantle, is the interior of the Earth, similar to the other terrestrial planets, is chemically divided into layers. The mantle is a highly viscous layer between the crust and the outer core.
What is the liquid layer of the earth's core?
The layer of the earth in liquid form is the mantle. It is made up of magma and lies directly beneath the earth's crust. This liquid is responsible for moving continents and earthquakes. It is the thickest layer of the earth.
Some of the oldest continental crust on Earth lies in?
The oldest crust on earth can be found in Australia and parts of Canada. It ranges in age from 3. 7 to 4. 28 billion years old.
What lies between the antecubital vein and the brachial artery?
your lungs.
Where you the earths mantle located?
The mantle lies between the crust and the outer core of Earth's interior, and is not within the crust.
Name the thick layer of earths interior that lies between the crust and the core?
The mantle
What is the thick layer of earths interior that lies between the crust and the core?
the mantle, which contains the lithosphere, asthenosphere and the mesosphere
What are the zone between core and crust?
The chemical layer of the Earth known as the mantle lies between the crust and the core.
What lies below Earths Lower Mantle?
From the outside into the Earth. It goes Crust, Upper Mantle, Mantle, Outer Core, and Inner Core
What two layers the mantle lies between?
it lies in between the crust and the outer core
What is the layer of the earth that lies above the mantle?
The Earth's crust lies above the mantle.
Is earths mantle 3000 kilometers thick?
The mantle is one of the three main layers of the Earth. It lies between the core and the crust. The mantle consists of hot, dense, semisolid rock and is about 3000 kilometers thick.
What is the rock of mantle?
plate tectonic and magma
Why does Earth's crust sit on top of the mantle?
The crust lies on top of the mantle because it is composed of less dense materials than the mantle is. The crust is essentially floating on the mantle.
What is middle layer of earth called?
Between the thin rocky crust and inner core, in order from upper to lower, are the upper mantle, mantle, and outer core.
What is the layer in Earth's mantle between the lithosphere and upper mantle?
lithosphere
