mantle is the inner earth layer between the core and crust.
it is separated from the crust by the layer known as Mohorovicic discontinuity or simply Moho. this layer was discovered by the seismologist known as Dr. Andria Mohorovicic in 1909 when he was studying about earth-quakes in Balkan region.
Upper mantle combines with the crust to form lithosphere. The mantle is about 5000 degrees centigrades and 2900km deep. hence its hot and semi-molten stated.

What best describes the best relationship between the inner core outer core mantle lithosphere and asthenosphere?
The relationship between the inner core outer core-mantle lithosphere and asthenosphere is that the coolest layers are farthest from the core.
What is between the mantle and the lithosphere of the earth?
Actually, the uppermost mantle is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere consists of the crust and attached uppermost rigid mantle.
What layer contains the lithosphere asthenosphere and mesosphere?
The layer containing the Lithosphere, Asthenosphere and Mesosphere is the Mantle. The Upper Mantle composes of the Lithosphere while the Lower Mantle composes the Asthenosphere.
How far is it to the lithosphere from the crust?
The crust is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper mantle. Therefore, there is no spatial distance between the lithosphere and the crust.
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 best describes the best relationship between the inner core outer core mantle lithosphere and asthenosphere?
The relationship between the inner core outer core-mantle lithosphere and asthenosphere is that the coolest layers are farthest from the core.
What is between the mantle and the lithosphere of the earth?
Actually, the uppermost mantle is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere consists of the crust and attached uppermost rigid mantle.
What is the layer in Earth's mantle between the lithosphere and upper mantle?
lithosphere
This solid layer is found between the inner core and the lithosphere?
Although the bottom of the lithosphere is also part of the mantle, the answer is the mantle.
Is magma molten rock formed in the asthenophere?
No, it is not. It is found in the lithosphere. The lithosphere is between the mantle and the crust.
What layer contains the lithosphere asthenosphere and mesosphere?
The layer containing the Lithosphere, Asthenosphere and Mesosphere is the Mantle. The Upper Mantle composes of the Lithosphere while the Lower Mantle composes the Asthenosphere.
How far is it to the lithosphere from the crust?
The crust is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper mantle. Therefore, there is no spatial distance between the lithosphere and 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.
What solid layer between the inner mantle and the lithosphere?
I dont think there is a solid layer between the Lowwer Mantle and the Lithosphere. The only layer which lies in this region is the Asthenosphere, which is a Weak Zone and in Molten State.
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.
In which layer is the asthenosphere and the lithosphere located?
The mantle is the layer where asthenosphere and the lithosphere are located.
What is slab resistance?
as the subducting plate skins into the mantle, friction between the mantle and lithosphere will oppose plate motion.
