How many km is the earths lithosphere from the earths surface?

The Earth's lithosphere can vary in depth from 5 km at the ocean ridges to 200 km underneath mountain ranges.


Where do rocks melt?

At depths of about 50 to 200 km below Earth's surface Rocks melt at depths at 50 and 200 km below the Earth's surface.


Where would you draw a line on the Earths layers to show the bottom of the lithosphere?

You would draw the line at the base of the lithosphere, which is the boundary between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere. This boundary is located around 100-200 kilometers below the Earth's surface and marks the point where the rigid lithosphere transitions to the more ductile asthenosphere.


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.


What of earths layer is formed by diamond?

Diamonds are typically formed in the Earth's mantle, which is the layer located between the crust and the core. They are formed under high pressure and temperature conditions deep within the mantle, around 150-200 kilometers below the surface. Through processes involving carbon atoms being subjected to extreme heat and pressure, diamonds gradually form over millions of years.

How many Earths does it take to stretch across Jupiter 22 11 or 5?

None of those. It would take 118.55 Earths to stretch across Jupiter, assuming you're talking about the surface of the Earth stretching across the surface of Jupiter. Take the surface area of both planets and divide them. (Jupiter / Earth) 23.71 billion / 200 million = 118.55 If you meant how many Earths could fit inside Jupiter then the answer would be 1,321.3. Hopefully that helps.

How many earth does it takes to stretch across Jupiter?

Jupiter has a surface area of 23.71 billion sq miles (61.42 billion km sq). Earth has a surface area of 200 million sq miles (510.072 million km sq). So to find the answer to your question we take Jupiter's surface area and divide it by Earth's surface area. 23.71 billion / 200 million = 118.55 So, it would take approximately 118.55 earths to stretch across the surface of Jupiter!


In what city and state is the underground salt museum?

The Kansas Underground Salt Museum is beneath Hutchinson, Kansas. It is 650 feet (200 m) below the surface.


To what depth below Earth's surface do you have to go before the pressure and temperature cause rocks to melt?

At depths between 50 to 200 km below Earth's surface, temperatures and friction, along with the presence of water, could cause melting of subducting crustal material. Rising currents of mantle rock could melt from decompression at shallower depths.


Do you need insulation when visiting the moon?

Certainly. Temperatures at the Lunar surface range from 200 degrees Celsius below freezing to 400 above. For details on the NASA spacesuits worn on various missions, see links below.


What places can igneous rocks be found?

Between 50 and 200 km below Earth's surface
