What else can I help you with?
Where are you if you are 100km below the surface?
If you were 100 km below the surface you would be in the upper mantle / asthenosphere.
What layer of the earth includes the surface?
The layer of the Earth that includes the surface is the crust. It is the outermost solid layer of the Earth, ranging from 5 to 70 km thick beneath the oceans and up to 100 km thick beneath the continents.
What depth does the asthenosphere start and how far down does it extend?
The asthenosphere begins approximately 100-200 kilometers below the Earth's surface and extends to about 700 kilometers deep. It is a semi-fluid layer of the upper mantle that allows tectonic plates to move and slide.
How far is from the surface of Earth to the Lithosphere?
I will answer this with a comparison from the good old US Army: it's the same as the maximum effective range of the M2 Get Lost Kit -- zero meters. The lithosphere is the surface of the Earth.
Where is the mesosphere located?
The mesosphere is the layer of Earth's atmosphere above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. It extends from 50 kilometers to 100 kilometers above sea level. The name mesphere also, though less often, refers to a layer of Earth's mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core. It extends from 660 kilometers to 2,700 kilometers below the surface.
Where are you if you are 100km below the surface?
If you were 100 km below the surface you would be in the upper mantle / asthenosphere.
What layer of earth is 100km below the surface?
The layer of the Earth that is roughly 100 km below the surface is part of the upper mantle called the asthenosphere. This region is characterized by its partially molten rock that allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
What is the layer 100 km below the earths surface?
The mantle =)

What is the depth below surface of lithosphere?
The depth below the Earth's surface of the lithosphere varies depending on location, but on average it extends to about 100 kilometers (62 miles) deep. This layer includes the crust and upper part of the mantle and is characterized by its rigidity and brittle behavior.
Where is the mesosphere located?
The mesosphere is the layer of Earth's atmosphere above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. It extends from 50 kilometers to 100 kilometers above sea level. The name mesphere also, though less often, refers to a layer of Earth's mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core. It extends from 660 kilometers to 2,700 kilometers below the surface.
What are the asthenosphere dimensions?
It begins 100-150km below the Earth's surface and extends to approximately 300km below.
Which term refers to the ridged layer of Earth that is about 100 km thick and generally less dense than the material below it?
The Lithosphere is the ridged layer of Earth that is about 100 km think and generally less dense than the material below it. This layer is the tectonic plates the move along on the anthesphere.
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.
Where the mesosphere located?
The mesosphere is the layer of Earth's atmosphere above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. It extends from 50 kilometers to 100 kilometers above sea level. The name mesphere also, though less often, refers to a layer of Earth's mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core. It extends from 660 kilometers to 2,700 kilometers below the surface.
