Which of the following is part of the Earths lithosphere SoilMagma None of these Mantle, magma, and soil Mantle?

Mantle is part of the Earth's lithosphere.


The lithosphere includes the uppermost part of earths mantle and earths?

The lithosphere consists of the rigid outermost layer of Earth, which includes the crust and a portion of the upper mantle. It is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath. This layer is where most geological activity, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, occurs.


What is the name of the lower part of mantle and the upper part of mantle?

The lower part of the mantle is called the "lower mantle" or "mesosphere", while the upper part of the mantle is referred to as the "upper mantle" or "asthenosphere".


If you compared an avocado to the earth which part of the avocado would best represent the earths mantle?

The avocado's flesh would best represent the Earth's mantle in this analogy. Just like the mantle is the thickest layer beneath Earth's crust, the flesh is the thickest part of the avocado surrounding the pit. Both the mantle and avocado flesh occupy a substantial portion of their respective structures.


What are the three layers of the mantle?

Lithosphere is the layer clostest to the earths crust. It is the layer that contains the sial and sima. Asthenosphere is the next layer clostest to the earths crust. Mesosphere is the inner most layer of the mantle than it goes to the core... Outer core, and inner core

What layers makes up most earths mass?

The Mantle. It is the largest and thickest layer in the earth. But this answer might not be actually true. Because the earth has all these layers and the mass is added up. -By Olivia Agbo A 12 year old. Thank you for your support.


What is most of the earths mass in?

Most of the mass of the Earth is in the mantle, most of the rest in the core; the part we inhabit is a tiny fraction of the whole


What is the upper part of the earths mantle?

The asthenosphere is the upper part of Earth's mantle. It is partially molten (plastic rheology) and mechanically detached from the lithosphere, which is mostly the Earth's crust (but also a little bit of upper mantle). The density of the upper mantle is your mom! (yo mamma!)
