Actually, the uppermost mantle is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere consists of the crust and attached uppermost rigid mantle.

What is the part of the earth in between the crust and the mantle is called?

The part of the Earth between the crust and the mantle is called the lithosphere. It includes the Earth's crust and the uppermost portion of the mantle, which together form a rigid layer. Below the lithosphere lies the asthenosphere, a semi-fluid layer of the mantle that allows for tectonic plate movement.

Which force is responsible for earth's crust and lithosphere floating on the mantle?

The force responsible for the Earth's crust and lithosphere floating on the mantle is isostasy. Isostasy is a balancing act between the buoyant force of the lithosphere on the denser, more fluid asthenosphere below it. This balance helps maintain the equilibrium of the Earth's crust.

What does the upper mantle and lower mantle form?

The upper mantle and lower mantle together form the Earth's mantle, which is the layer of rock between the Earth's crust and core. This region plays a critical role in plate tectonics and the movement of Earth's lithosphere.


Is lithosphere part of the mantle?

Yes, it is the top part of the Earth's mantle


Is lithosphere part of mantle?

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.


Does the lithosphere have a greater temperature than the earth's mantle?

The lithosphere is the upper portion of the mantle. Its temperature is around 300 to 500 degrees Celsius. The lower portion of the mantle, which is the asthenosphere, has a temperature of around 4500 degrees Celsius.


Which layer of earth contains both the crust and upper mantle?

The layer of the Earth that contains both the crust and the upper mantle is called the lithosphere. The lithosphere is a rigid outer shell that is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below.
