according to scientists, the lithosphere is solid
Predominantly solid, but there is some liquid phase, and in certain situations, even a gaseous one.
The core is the innermost layer of the Earth, composed mostly of iron and nickel. It is divided into the outer liquid core and inner solid core. The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and upper part of the mantle.
The atmosphere is located above the Earth's surface; the crust is the outermost solid layer of the Earth; the hydrosphere includes all the Earth's water in oceans, rivers, and lakes; the lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of Earth including the crust and upper mantle; the mantle is the layer beneath the crust and above the core.
Broadly speaking the earth is solid in all layers except the outer core which is a liquid. However there are mechanical differences in the behaviour of the solid layers in that some (such as the lithosphere) are brittle whereas the asthenosphere and mesosphere are ductile.
The asthenosphere is a partially molten layer beneath the lithosphere. It is not completely liquid, but has a higher temperature and lower rigidity compared to the lithosphere, allowing it to flow slowly over geologic time scales.
Lithosphere is solid part of earth .
The asthenosphere is a flowing solid. It's sort of a liquid and a solid.
The Lithosphere is solid rock floating on molten rock.
No. The lithosphere consists of the crust and the rigid uppermost part of the mantle. Therefore it is solid.
The lithosphere is a solid layer of the Earth comprising the crust and upper part of the mantle. It is neither a liquid nor a gas, but a rigid layer that rests on the more fluid asthenosphere below.
Predominantly solid, but there is some liquid phase, and in certain situations, even a gaseous one.
Solid
1. Lithosphere - Solid. 2. Hydrosphere - Liquid. 3. Atmosphere - Gaseous. 4. Biosphere - Solid, Liquid and Gas. 5. Cryosphere - Ice.
The lithosphere is solid and does not flow, but is carried on top of the asthenosphere.
the upper mantle (lithosphere) which is solid in nature and the lower Mantle (mesosphere)which is liquid in nature
The solid layer of the earth is the crust - the layer on which we live.
The core is the innermost layer of the Earth, composed mostly of iron and nickel. It is divided into the outer liquid core and inner solid core. The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and upper part of the mantle.
