What else can I help you with?
Is the mesosphere the same as the mantle?
No, although a large part of the mantle forms the mesosphere, the upper brittle mantle is part of the lithosphere and the ductile layer of the mantle below this is formed of the asthenosphere. The mantle below the asthenosphere (i.e. that part from 700 km down to the core-mantle boundary is the mesosphere).
Which layer of the earth contains the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is located in the upper mantle. The asthenosphere is below the lithosphere, the brittle outer shell of the Earth.
What is the lower part of the mantle in the earth's crust?
The lower part of the mantle in Earth's crust is called the lower mantle. It lies beneath the upper mantle and extends from about 670 to 2,900 kilometers below the Earth's surface. It is composed of solid rock that can flow slowly over very long periods of time.
How far below the earth's surface is the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere begins at around 100-150 km depth in the Earth. This is below the lithosphere, which consists of the crust and the uppermost mantle (the plates in plate tectonics).The asthenosphere is in the mantle, but it is still unclear how much of the mantle (which goes down to a depth of ~2900 km) is actually part of the asthenosphere.
What is that upper level of the Mantle called?
The upper level of the mantle is called the asthenosphere. It is a semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle located just below the lithosphere. The asthenosphere plays a key role in the movement of tectonic plates.
What is the name of the central part of earth below mantle?
It is the inner core.
What is the center part of earth below the mantle?
outer core
Is the mesosphere the same as the mantle?
No, although a large part of the mantle forms the mesosphere, the upper brittle mantle is part of the lithosphere and the ductile layer of the mantle below this is formed of the asthenosphere. The mantle below the asthenosphere (i.e. that part from 700 km down to the core-mantle boundary is the mesosphere).
What part of the earth is directly below the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is the upper part of the upper mantle.
What is listhosphere?
The lithosphere is a part of the mantle ( the layer of Earth just below the crust_
What is part of mantle below the lithosphere called?
The part of the mantle below the lithosphere is called the Asthenosphere.
What part of the earths mantle that flows and moves the plates of the earth?
Mantle plumes are in the mantle, BELOW the Earth's crust. The circulation of heat from the lower mantle to the upper mantle can cause "hot spots" in the overlying crust, heating the magma in the areas.
Which layer of the earth contains the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is located in the upper mantle. The asthenosphere is below the lithosphere, the brittle outer shell of the Earth.
Is the mantle is the thickest layer of Earth?
The mantle, by far, is the thickest layer of the Earth.
Is lithosphere part of the mantle?
Yes, it is the top part of the Earth's mantle
What part is the earths mantle?
The mantle is counted as the middle part of the earth
Is lithosphere part of mantle?
Yes, it is the top part of the Earth's mantle
