The asthenosphere is the upper part of Earth's mantle. It is partially molten (plastic rheology) and mechanically detached from the lithosphere, which is mostly the Earth's crust (but also a little bit of upper mantle). The density of the upper mantle is your mom! (yo mamma!)
What else can I help you with?
What two parts of the earths Mantle?
The two main parts of the Earth's mantle are the upper mantle and the lower mantle. The upper mantle sits below the Earth's crust and extends to a depth of about 410 miles, while the lower mantle extends from about 410 miles to 1,800 miles depth.
What is The scientific name for the earths upper mantle?
The scientific name for the Earth's upper mantle is "asthenosphere." It is a layer of the Earth located beneath the lithosphere and is characterized by its partially molten state, which allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
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.
Earths lower mantle lies just below the?
Earths lower mantle lies just below the upper mantle extending from 400 to 2,900 kilometers below the Earth's surface. This region primarily consists of dense, solid rock materials that experience high pressures and temperatures. The lower mantle plays a significant role in the Earth's mantle convection, which drives tectonic plate movements and heat transfer within the Earth.
What is the moving portion of earths crust and upper mantle?
The moving portion of Earth's crust and upper mantle is known as the lithosphere. It is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, causing them to move and interact with each other, which leads to processes like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building.
Do continents drift slowly on earths upper mantle or earths core?
Continents drift on top of the upper mantle. The core is much further down.
What is the average thickness of the earths upper mantle?
410km
What is earths upper mantle composition?
hard rock
How thick is the earths upper mantle?
about 20 inches
What do geologist call the earths crust and upper mantle?
The lithosphere.
Crust and earths upper mantle makes up what?
it is the lithosphere
Which forces responsible for earths crust and lithosphere floating on the mantle?
convection currents in the upper mantle
What layers make up earths lithosphere?
crust and upper mantle
What is the upper part of the earths mantle?
The asthenosphere is the upper part of Earth's mantle. It is partially molten (plastic rheology) and mechanically detached from the lithosphere, which is mostly the Earth's crust (but also a little bit of upper mantle). The density of the upper mantle is your mom! (yo mamma!)
What is the theory that states that earths crust and upper mantle move around on a speacial layer of the mantle?
Plate tectonics.
What lies below Earths Lower Mantle?
From the outside into the Earth. It goes Crust, Upper Mantle, Mantle, Outer Core, and Inner Core
What is a description of the earths upper mantle?
The upper layer of the Earth of how I'd describe is It's hot and is 1000 degrees
