The relationship between the inner core outer core-mantle lithosphere and asthenosphere
is that the coolest layers are farthest from the core.

What are the differences between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is cold and brittle whereas the asthenosphere is hot and dense.
Is it true or false that the asthenosphere floats on the lithosphere?
Because of something called Isostacy-the gravitational equilibrium between lithosphere and asthenosphere, such that plates "float" at an elevation that dependes on the thickness and density. EX. Think floating ice cubes
Interaction between which two regions causes plate movement?
The lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
What is the athenosphere and what is it located between?
The asthenosphere is part of the upper mantle directly below the lithosphere.
What is the definition of Isostacy theory?
IS A CONDITION OF RELATIVE GRAVITational equilibrium between earths lithosphere and asthenosphere
What are the differences between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is cold and brittle whereas the asthenosphere is hot and dense.
Is the lithosphere and asthenosphere boundary above or below the Moho?
The boundary between the asthenosphere and the lithosphere is normally below the Moho (which marks the boundary between the crust and the mantle). The exception to this is below mid-ocean ridges where the moho and the lithosphere / asthenosphere boundary are at the same depth.
This solid layer is found between the inner mantle and the lithosphere?
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.

Between earths lithosphere and its core is its?
After the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, then comes the lower mantle. After that is the outer core, and then is the inner core.
Interaction between which two regions causes plate movement?
The lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
What is the layer in Earth's mantle between the lithosphere and upper mantle?
lithosphere
What is the athenosphere and what is it located between?
The asthenosphere is part of the upper mantle directly below the lithosphere.
How far away is the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere, which is a soft plastic, is between approximately 62 and 124 miles below the surface. It is just below rigid lithosphere.
What is the definition of Isostacy theory?
IS A CONDITION OF RELATIVE GRAVITational equilibrium between earths lithosphere and asthenosphere
What is the difference between lithosphere and asthenosphere?
The difference between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere is that the asthenosphere is the lower part of the upper mantle it behaves like a plastic but flows much more easily than the rest of the mantle. The lithosphere however, includes the entire crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, it is more rigid and brittle and doesn't flow.
