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.
What is the moving portion of earths crust and upper mantle?
The moving portion of Earth's crust and upper mantle is known as the lithosphere. It is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, causing them to move and interact with each other, which leads to processes like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building.
The crust and uppermost mantle make up the rigid outer layer of Earth what is it called?
Together the crust and upper mantle make the lithosphere.
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 layer of the earth forms the earths plates?
Tectonic plates are floating on the magma (semi-molten rocks) of the mantle layer. Therefore, they form the crust layer of the Earth.
What is another name for the earths crust and upper mantle?
It is called the lithosphere.

What is the rigid layer of the earths surface that is made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?

What is the crust and brittle upper mantle called?

What is the earths under crust surrounded by?
Earths under crust surrounded by Upper Mantle (35-60 km) .The mantle is composed of sillicate rocks that are rich in iron and magnesium relative to the overlying crust.
The crust and upper mantle are called?

What is the theory that states that earths crust and upper mantle move around on a speacial layer of the mantle?
Plate tectonics.
