What else can I help you with?
Is the outer layer of the earth the coolest layer?
the outer layer of the Earth is the coolest layer and the core is the hottest at 5500 degrees Celsius.
The layer on which the tectonic plates move is called the what?
It is called the asthenosphere, the layer of hot, ductile rock directly below the lithosphere.
The part of earths outer layer that move are called?
The part of Earth's outer layer that moves are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle and interact with each other at plate boundaries, causing geological events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What is the tern for the slow movement of the earth's outer layer?
The term for the slow movement of the Earth's outer layer is "plate tectonics." This describes the process by which the Earth's lithosphere is broken into large plates that move and interact at the Earth's surface.
What type of Earth layers are the lithosphere asthenosphere mesosphere outer core and inner core?
The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of Earth composed of the crust and upper mantle. The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere where tectonic plates move. The mesosphere is the lower part of the mantle. The outer core is a liquid layer beneath the mantle, and the inner core is a solid layer at the center of Earth.
Is the outer layer of the earth the coolest layer?
the outer layer of the Earth is the coolest layer and the core is the hottest at 5500 degrees Celsius.
Why don't secondary waves move through the outer core?
Because it has been proven that the outer layer is made of liquid and secondary waves do not move through liquid ^~^
The layer on which the tectonic plates move is called the what?
It is called the asthenosphere, the layer of hot, ductile rock directly below the lithosphere.
The part of earths outer layer that move are called?
The part of Earth's outer layer that moves are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle and interact with each other at plate boundaries, causing geological events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What do the 7 plates in the lithosphere float on?
The tectonic plates which form Earth's crust move on top of the outer layer of the mantle. This layer of the mantle is known as the asthenosphere.
What causes the outer layer of the earth to move?
The outer layer of the earth's surface is made of plates. These plates are pushed by new land that is formed at rifts in the middle of the ocean where the surface is very thin. Lava squeezes up and out to the side from these rifts.
What is the tern for the slow movement of the earth's outer layer?
The term for the slow movement of the Earth's outer layer is "plate tectonics." This describes the process by which the Earth's lithosphere is broken into large plates that move and interact at the Earth's surface.
What type of Earth layers are the lithosphere asthenosphere mesosphere outer core and inner core?
The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of Earth composed of the crust and upper mantle. The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere where tectonic plates move. The mesosphere is the lower part of the mantle. The outer core is a liquid layer beneath the mantle, and the inner core is a solid layer at the center of Earth.
This solid layer is found between the inner mantle and the lithosphere?
The solid layer found between the lithosphere and the outer core is called the asthenosphere. It is a semi-plastic layer that allows the lithospheric plates to move over it.
What layer do tectonic plates sit om?
Tectonic plates sit on the lithosphere, which is the rigid outer layer of the Earth composed of the crust and uppermost mantle. This layer is divided into several large and small plates that move on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
How fast are millipededs?
Because a millipede has short legs it cannot move very fast. It typically takes a millipede longer than a second to move the entire distance of the length of their body.
Why is the outer part of the crust a liquid?
The outer part of the Earth's crust is not liquid; it is solid. However, the uppermost layer of the mantle, known as the asthenosphere, is partially molten, which allows the tectonic plates to move over it. This layer's partial melting contributes to the movement of the Earth's lithosphere.
