The mesosphere is the zone from the base of the asthenosphere to the boundary of the earth's mantle and core.

The area from the base of the asthenosphere to the mantle-core boundary is known as?

This region is known as the mesosphere. The base of the mesosphere includes the D'' (D double prime) layer which is sometimes considered to be a transition zone between the mantle and the core-mantle boundary zone.


What is between the asthenosphere and the outer core!?

the Mesosphere


Is the asthenosphere located between the mantle and outer core?

No, the asthenosphere is actually part of the upper mantle, located beneath the lithosphere. It is a semi-fluid layer that allows the lithospheric plates to move over it. The outer core is below the mantle and is made of molten iron and nickel.


Put these layers of the Earth in order starting at the outermost layer and going inward. crustmoho barriercoremantle?

Crust, Moho (lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary), mantle, core.


What the boundary between the core and mantle?

The boundary of mantle and core are called Gutenberg Discontinuity


What is the boundary between mantle and core?

The boundary between the mantle and the core is called the core-mantle boundary and also The Gutenberg Discontinuity which marks the upper boundary of the D'' (D Double Prime) layer.


What do you called the boundary between the mantle in the core?

The boundary between the mantle and core is called the core-mantle boundary. This region is marked by a significant change in density and composition, representing the transition from the solid mantle to the liquid outer core of the Earth.


What lies beneath the asthenosphere?

Below the asthenosphere lies the solid upper mantle, which is known as the mesosphere. The mesosphere is more rigid and less ductile in comparison to the asthenosphere. At greater depths, the lower mantle is composed of solid rock that gradually gets hotter and denser as it approaches the Earth's core.


How does the subducting plate affect temperature in the asthenosphere?

Subduction results from convection in the asthenosphere. The heat from the core of the earth that is imparted to the mantle causes the mantle to convect much the wayboiling water convects in a pan on the stove. Hot mantle at the core-mantle boundary rises while cool mantle sinks, causing convection cells to form.


What divides the mantle and the core?

The boundary separating the Earth's mantle and core is known as the core-mantle boundary. This boundary is characterized by a sharp decrease in seismic wave velocities, indicating a difference in composition and properties between the outer core and the lower mantle.


What layer of earth is made of melted rock and solid?

the inner core


What is the order of the layers of the earth?

The crust, then the lithosphere, then the asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, inner core. The mantle is the lithosphere, asthenosphere, and the mesosphere. So the mantle isn't really the middle of the earth.
