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.
Does continental lithosphere contain more mafic rocks than oceanic lithosphere?
No, oceanic lithosphere contains more mafic rocks compared to continental lithosphere. Oceanic lithosphere is mainly composed of basalt, which is a mafic rock, whereas continental lithosphere is composed of a variety of rock types, including granitic rocks which are more felsic in composition.
Why is oceanic lithosphere subducted while continental lithosphere is not?
The density of the continental (granitic) lithosphere is lower than oceanic (basaltic) lithosphere. Consequently, due to buoyancy, the continental crust rides above the oceanic lithosphere and thus is not subducted. However, it is thought that pieces of the continental lithosphere break off and are subducted along with the oceanic lithosphere.
What is the crust and the upper mantle are called?
The crust and uppermost hard rocky mantle, together, is known as the lithosphere, which is above the plastic-like upper mantle area known as the asthenosphere.
What is the average thickness of the lithosphere?
The average thickness of the lithosphere is around 100 kilometers, but it can vary depending on the location and whether it is oceanic or continental lithosphere. Oceanic lithosphere is typically thinner (around 5-10 kilometers) compared to continental lithosphere, which can be up to 200 kilometers thick.

What is a ATM charge?
An ATM charge is when you are using an ATM that is not the ATM of your bank' company. Therefore, they charge you for it
What does ATM RFD mean?
The words ATM RFD on a bank statement have to do with ATM machine use. ATM RFD means ATM refund.
How do you transfer money ATM to ATM?
You draw the money from the first ATM, then you walk/crawl/fly/swim to the other ATM and deposit it into that ATM.
The crust and uppermost mantle make up the rigid outer layer of earth called the?
The uppermost mantle and the crust makes the lithosphere.
What is the lithosphere of the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and uppermost hard, brittle mantle.
A tank contains N2 at 1.0 ATM and O2 at 2.0 ATM Helium is added to this tank until the total pressure is 6.0 ATM What is the partial pressure of the helium?
The initial total pressure is 1.0 ATM + 2.0 ATM = 3.0 ATM. Therefore, 6.0 ATM - 3.0 ATM = 3.0 ATM of helium was added to the tank. Hence, the partial pressure of helium in the tank is 3.0 ATM.
What is the meaning of ATM custodian?
ATM custodian is someone who maintains an ATM.
Can you locate an ATM by the ATM?
If the ATM has a GPS system installed related to the other branches and ATM joints, you can check that.
What change in pressure would result in the volume of gas increasing A 2 ATM to 3 ATM B 3 ATM to 4 ATM C 4 ATM to 1 ATM D 1 ATM to 3 ATM?
A. An increase in pressure from 2 ATM to 3 ATM will result in a decrease in volume of gas. B. An increase in pressure from 3 ATM to 4 ATM will result in a decrease in volume of gas. C. A decrease in pressure from 4 ATM to 1 ATM will result in an increase in volume of gas. D. An increase in pressure from 1 ATM to 3 ATM will result in a decrease in volume of gas.
What is the mechanics layer of earth that contains tectonic plates?
Lithosphere (apex)
