According to plate tectonic theory and observations of seismic waves, the upper mantle is solid and more dense than the crust. At greater depth, the rigidity abruptly decreases and it becomes very flexible, but not liquid.

What is the least rigid part of the mantle?
The upper mantle is less rigid because the pressure is lower
Plates are composed of earths crust and?
dirt and rigid rocks
What is the rigid layer that includes the upper part of the mantle and the crust of the Earth?
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and uppermost mantle. Combined, they form the lithospheric plates.
What is between the mantle and the lithosphere of the earth?
Actually, the uppermost mantle is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere consists of the crust and attached uppermost rigid mantle.
Which layer of Earth is composed of both the crust and the rigid mantle?
Lithosphere
What is a rigid layer made up of the uppermost part of the mantle and crust?
The rigid layer that is the upper mantle and crust is called the lithosphere.
What is a description for the lithosphere?
It is made up of the top, rigid layer of the mantle and the crust
What is the rigid layer made up of the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust?
Lithosphere
Is a tectonic plate the rigid material of the outer core?
No. A tectonic plate is a segment of the rigid rocky outer shell of the Earth composed of the crust and the brittle uppermost mantle.
What is the least rigid part of the mantle?
The upper mantle is less rigid because the pressure is lower
What is a rigid layer made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
Rigid layer of earths surface made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
lithosphere
What is the rigid layer of Earth's surface made up of the crust and part of the upper mantle?
Lithosphere.
