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.
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
Extremely high temperatures most likely found in this part of earths atmosphere?
Thermosphere
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
True or false the crust and mantle are solids the inner crust is thoght to be solid?
true or false? the crust is the earths only solid layer or part
The lithosphere includes the uppermost part of earths mantle and earths?
The lithosphere includes the uppermost part of Earth's mantle and Earth's Crust.
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.
What is the soft layer of rock in the earths mantle?
The soft layer of rock in the Earth's mantle is called the asthenoshere. The asthenoshere is a solid but able to flow slowly.
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
What rock can flow like a liquid?
the rock that can flow like a liquid is a mantle because the mantle has two parts. The upper part is the solid rock. The solid rock of the mantle is part is the lithosphere. Below the solid rock, the mantle rock has the ability to flow like a liquid. Most of the mantle is made up of rock that can flow. Sanjida Ahmed 752/753
What is hotter inner mantle or outer mantle?
the earths core is the hottest part of the earth. the metals in the earths outer core is liquid because of the heat and the metals in the earths core is solid but still the earths core is the hottest
