Which part of the asthenosphere and lithosphere are parts of Earths?
The lithosphere and asthenosphere are both entirely part of Earth.
What does the plates of lithosphere float on top of?
The Asthenosphere. The Asthenosphere is a part of the Mantle.
Does lithosphere or asthenosphere contain partly melted rock from the upper part of the mantle?
The Asthenosphere.
Is the upper mantle part of the lithosphere or asthenosphere?
The The crust and the uppermost layer of the mantle form the lithosphere. The asthenosphere, which is still in the upper mantle, is the next layer down.
What layer lies beneath the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.
What part of the mantle is part of the lithosphere?
asthenosphere
Which part of the asthenosphere and lithosphere are parts of Earths?
The lithosphere and asthenosphere are both entirely part of Earth.
Are tectonic plates part of the asthenosphere or the lithosphere?
Tectonic plates are segments of the lithosphere. They float on top of the asthenosphere.
How are the lithoshphere and asthenosphere similar and how are they different?
The differences and similarities between lithosphere and asthenosphere are as follows. Lithoshphere is made up of rigid rocks flowing above asthenosphere. Asthenosphere has rocks that are more plastic like because they can flow even tho they are still solid rock. The top part of asthenosphere is the same as the lower part of lithosphere, if the top part of asthenosphere cools it then becomes part of lithosphere. Lithosphere and asthenosphere are both made up of the upper part of the mantle on Earth but Lithosphere is also made up of the crust.
What does the plates of lithosphere float on top of?
The Asthenosphere. The Asthenosphere is a part of the Mantle.
Part of mantle below the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere
What part of the mantle below the lithosphere?
Asthenosphere
What is the part of a mantle below the lithosphere?
The Asthenosphere.
What is part of mantle below the lithosphere called?
The part of the mantle below the lithosphere is called the Asthenosphere.
What do the tectonic plates float on?
The tectonic plates, part of the lithosphere, move around and float on the top of the asthenosphere.
Is the Asthenosphere the bottom part of the mantle?
Yes it is and the lithosphere is the upper part, to remember this think of L.A. The L comes first which is the lithosphere and the A comes second which is the asthenosphere
What is the the part of the mantle below the lithosphere?
Upper Mantle
