What else can I help you with?
The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. What do these layers of the lithosphere have in common How are they different?
Both the crust and the upper mantle are solid layers of the Earth's lithosphere. However, the crust is more brittle and less dense than the mantle. Additionally, the crust is composed primarily of oxygen and silicon (silicate minerals) whereas the mantle contains more iron and magnesium.
What are the 3 parts of Earth's internal structure?
These are the crust, mantle, and core. However, there is a distinct inner and outer core and a less distinct inner and outer mantle. There is also different types of crust so there are as many as 7 or 8 layers in the Earth's crust.
What are the 3 main layers of the earth?
The three main layers of the Earth are the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the outermost layer that we live on, the mantle is a thick layer beneath it, and the core is at the center of the Earth.
How are lithosphere and the crust the same and different?
The lithosphere and the crust are both parts of the Earth's outermost layer, but the lithosphere includes the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. The crust is the solid, outermost layer of the Earth's surface, while the lithosphere is defined by its rigid behavior and consists of the crust and a portion of the upper mantle.
How do you make a sentence with upper mantle?
The crust and upper mantle make up the earth.
How crust different from mantle?
YES
What the crust and mantle don't have in common?
The crust is above the mantle and the mantle is below the crust
Does the mantle separate the crust and mantle?
No the Mantle seperates the crust and the outer core
What layers of earth makes up the lithosphere?
Crust and the upper mantle
The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. What do these layers of the lithosphere have in common How are they different?

What does the crust float on?
The crust rides or floats on the mantle. :)
What are the different layer of the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is divided into two layers: the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The crust includes the Earth's outermost layer that is divided into continental and oceanic crust. The upper part of the mantle beneath the crust is known as the asthenosphere.
The section of earth beneath the crust?
Mantle Is The Below Layer Of The Crust In Earth.
What is the coldest crust or the mantle?
The crust is much colder than the mantle.
Is the lithosphere in the mantle or crust?
uppermost part of the mantle and the crust together
How is crust different than mantle?
The crust is the ground that people have built the building and have grown the trees on. The mantle on the other hand is way down into the earth. It has the magma and gasses and other material in it. The difference is that we can not stand on the mantle or we will burn. the crust is the outer layer of the earth, while the mantle is inside near the core.
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.
