Which mechanical layer lies below the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere lies below the lithosphere.
The crust and upper mantle are called the?
The crust and the upper mantle are a geological part of the earth called the lithosphere. There are 2 parts of the lithosphere: the oceanic lithosphere, which is made up of land underneath water, and the continental lithosphere, which is the the part made of just land. The lithosphere lies on top of the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is made up of tectonic plates, which are pieces of land floating on the lithosphere.
What mechanical layer lies below the lithosphere?
asthenosphere
What layer lies above the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is basically the part of Earth that we stand on. It consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. Under the lithosphere is the mantle, then the outher and inner core. Over it? Technically, just the crust. Then...us.
What is the difference between the core and the lithosphere?
The difference between the core and the lithosphere is the core is on the top of the lithosphere and the lithosphere is on the bottom of the core

What lies beneath the tectonics plates?
The Mesosphere lies below the Asthenosphere.Above the Asthenosphere is the Lithosphere.
What mechanical layer lies below the lithosphere?
asthenosphere
Where does the layer lies below the lithosphere?
The lithosphere lies above the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is where isostatic adjustments take place and it is a very ductile region. Seismic waves pass slower through this region of the earth than they do through the overlying lithosphere.

What is the plasticlike dense zone that lies beneath the lithosphere called?
The asthenosphere.
Is the crust and the top layer of the mantle called lithosphere?
Yes the crust and the top layer of the mantle is called Lithosphere.
What layer lies beneath the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.
What is the lithosphere definition?
the lithosphere is the Earth's crust and the very top of the mantle together
Weaker region in the mantle over which Earth's outer shell lies?
