What is the phase of the lithosphere?
Predominantly solid, but there is some liquid phase, and in certain situations, even a gaseous one.
What is the difference between the core and the lithosphere?
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.
Where are the atmosphere crust core hydrosphere lithosphere and mantle located?
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.
What is the state of matter in each layer of earth?
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.
Is the asthenosphere liquid?
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.
Is earths lithosphere a solid liquid or gas?
Lithosphere is solid part of earth .
Is the lithosphere solid liquid or plastic?
The asthenosphere is a flowing solid. It's sort of a liquid and a solid.
Is the lithosphere solid or liquid rock?
The Lithosphere is solid rock floating on molten rock.
Is the lithosphere liquid?
No. The lithosphere consists of the crust and the rigid uppermost part of the mantle. Therefore it is solid.
Is the lithosphere made of liquid rock?
No, the lithosphere is not made of liquid rock; it is primarily composed of solid rock. The lithosphere includes the Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, which are rigid and brittle. Beneath the lithosphere lies the asthenosphere, where rocks are partially molten and can flow, but the lithosphere itself remains solid.
Is the lithosPhere a solid liquid or neither?
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.
What is the phase of the lithosphere?
Predominantly solid, but there is some liquid phase, and in certain situations, even a gaseous one.
What are the layers of earth along with their physical state?
1. Lithosphere - Solid. 2. Hydrosphere - Liquid. 3. Atmosphere - Gaseous. 4. Biosphere - Solid, Liquid and Gas. 5. Cryosphere - Ice.
What is the state of matter of lithosphere?
Solid
What are the two tyoes of mantle and how are they differet?
the upper mantle (lithosphere) which is solid in nature and the lower Mantle (mesosphere)which is liquid in nature
Is the lithosphere solid but able to flow?
The lithosphere is solid and does not flow, but is carried on top of the asthenosphere.
What is the solid part of the earth called'?
The solid layer of the earth is the crust - the layer on which we live.
