What is The transition zone between the asthenosphere and the crust?
The transition zone between the asthenosphere and the crust is called the lithosphere. It is the rigid outer layer of the Earth that consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. The lithosphere is broken into tectonic plates that float and move on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath it.
What is the name given to a region where one plate of the earths crust is sliding under another?
A subduction zone is the name given to a region where one plate of the earth's crust is sliding under another plate. This is a term found in plate tectonics.
A zone of weakness or a break in earths crust is known as?
This is known as a fault. A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred. Movement along faults can result in earthquakes.
What is the largest zone of interior of the Earth by volume?
The mantle is the largest zone of interior of the Earth by volume. It makes up about 84% of Earth's volume and extends from the base of the crust to the outer core.
What is the name of the break in Earth's crust where movement of rock occurs?
A break in the Earth's crust along which there has been some movement is a fault. A fault is considered a planar fracture.
What zone meets the earths crust?
the mantle also known as the athenosphere the crust is also known as the lithosphere
Is the partially melted zone of earths that carries the crust the lithosphere?
No it is really subduction

What are Clear access routs into and out of chemical zones used to avoid contamination are called?
zone transition pointszone transition points
What does the transition zone do?
Biomes' are not separated with a distinct line, they transition into one another. This transition is the transitional zone.

What happens to the earths crust at a subbduction zone?
In a subduction zone, an oceanic plate moves under another plate (whether continental or oceanic). Sometimes pressure builds up, and earthquakes occur.
Is the dark zone the transition zone?
Yes!
Why is japan a hot zone for earthquakes?
Because it is based near a brake in the earths crust where heat is spilled out. Also it is situated near the underwater Himalayas.
What are three main zones of the open oceans?
surface mixed zone , transition zone, deep zone
What are zone in transition?
collision
