The lithosphere is composed of the oceanic and continental crust, along with the rigid upper mantle. The asthenosphere is the plastic like upper mantle directly below the lithosphere where rock can move, bend, and deform without breaking.
Why do scientists look to the ocean floor to research the mantle? Because magma from the mantle flows out of active volcanoes on the ocean floor. These underwater volcanoes have given scientists many clues about the composition of the mantle.
they drill into the earth but not all the way obviously and the predict that there is a mantel by volcanoes my teacher use to drill into the earth as a scientist but then returned to teaching ans2. The interior of the Earth may be inferred by studying seismic waves at various points from a given earthquake. From this the depth of various layers and their acoustic velocity may be determined.

FalseThe Mantle is the Earth's 2nd layer. It goes in the order of the Crust, the Mantle, the Outer Core and then the Inner Core.If you follow this answer, you will get it wrong on Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader. The Answer given is Mantle.
No. The Moho (more correctly the Mohorovičić discontinuity) is the name given to a seismic discontinuity between the Earth's crust and mantle. The seismic discontinuity between the Earth's mantle and liquid core is known as the Gutenberg discontinuity or the CMB - Core Mantle Boundary.
The crust and the upper part of the mantle are the solid part of the Earth called the lithosphere.
The idea that the earth's crust is broken into plates that move on top of the mantle is known as the theory of plate tectonics.Magma is the name given to molten rock below the Earth's surface.
The boundary between the crust and the mantle is called the Mohorovicic discontinuity. It is also called simply the Moho and it is the abrupt divide between faster and slower speeds where the mantle starts.
The earth's crust lower mantle is made up of silicate perovskites and ferropericlase. While the silicate perovskites are the names given to calcium silicates and magnesium iron, ferropericlase is an oxide of magnesium/iron. The lower mantle is at a depth that ranges from 650 kilometers to 2,890 kilometers.
Since the Earth is a Spheroid shape, (not a true sphere) 50% of its surface is illuminated by the Sun, at any given moment.
No, the mantle of the earth is not liquid. It is fairly solid, but the lower parts nearer the core are extremely hot and are plastic. The mantle is under tremendous pressure, and this pressure prevents rock from melting, even at the elevated temperatures there. Use the link below for more information.

Portion/Percentage = Total/100 So Total = 100*Portion/Percentage.
