What is the ridge layer of earths surface made up of the crust and part of the mantle called?
lithoshpere
What part of the earths mantle that flows and moves the plates of the earth?
Mantle plumes are in the mantle, BELOW the Earth's crust. The circulation of heat from the lower mantle to the upper mantle can cause "hot spots" in the overlying crust, heating the magma in the areas.
What is the description off the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the solid outer section of Earth, which includes Earth's crust, and the underlying cool, dense, and rigid upper part of the mantle.
Extremely high temperatures most likely found in this part of earths atmosphere?
Thermosphere
Which part of the Earth is a solid composed of nickel and iron?
The inner core is the only portion of the Earth which is considered to be composed of solid iron with nickel. The outer core surrounding it is a liquid iron-nickel alloy.Inner core
The earths volume is made up of what?
Molton rock known as mantle magma, for the most part. There is also an iron core, the inner portion of which is probably solid.
What part is the earths mantle?
The mantle is counted as the middle part of the earth
What is most of the earths mass in?
Most of the mass of the Earth is in the mantle, most of the rest in the core; the part we inhabit is a tiny fraction of the whole
Partially molten, plastic-like, flowing layer located below the solid part of Earths mantle?
Partially molten, plastic like, flowing layer located below the solid part of Earth's mantle is the Asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is mechanically weak and ductiley deforming region of the upper mantle.
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.
Is the uppermost part of the mantle a liquid or solid?
Solid!
Does the earths lithosphere include part of the mantle?
Yes it does.
What part of earths structure are oceans located on?
mantle
True or false the crust and mantle are solids the inner crust is thoght to be solid?
True, both the crust and mantle are composed of solid rock. The innermost part of the crust is also believed to be solid, although it may experience some plastic deformation under extreme pressures and temperatures.
What part of the mantle is most solid?
The most solid part of the mantle is the lower mantle, which extends from about 660 kilometers to 2,900 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface. In this region, the immense pressure causes the rocks to behave more like a solid than a liquid, despite being composed of semi-solid materials. The lower mantle is characterized by its high density and rigidity, contrasting with the more ductile behavior of the upper mantle, where the asthenosphere allows for some flow.
What is crust and upper mantle of the EARTH?
The upper mantle is in between the lower mantle and the earths crust Crust- the outer most solid shell of the earth. The Uppermost mantle and the earth's crust form the lithosphere.
What are the three layers of the mantle?
Lithosphere is the layer clostest to the earths crust. It is the layer that contains the sial and sima. Asthenosphere is the next layer clostest to the earths crust. Mesosphere is the inner most layer of the mantle than it goes to the core... Outer core, and inner core
