What is the subdivision of the mantle?
The mantle is subdivided into two regions. The upper region is called the lithosphere, while the lower region is called the asthenosphere.
What layer lies beneath the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.
What layer contains the lithosphere asthenosphere and mesosphere?
The layer containing the Lithosphere, Asthenosphere and Mesosphere is the Mantle. The Upper Mantle composes of the Lithosphere while the Lower Mantle composes the Asthenosphere.
What is asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is the viscous region of the upper mantle of the Earth that lies just below the lithosphere.
What is between the mantle and the lithosphere of the earth?
Actually, the uppermost mantle is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere consists of the crust and attached uppermost rigid mantle.
What is the region where lithosphere meets the mantle?
The Mohorovicic Discontinuity.
What is the region where the lithosphere meet the mantle?
The Mohorovicic Discontinuity.
What is the subdivision of the mantle?
The mantle is subdivided into two regions. The upper region is called the lithosphere, while the lower region is called the asthenosphere.
Weaker region in the mantle over which Earth's outer shell lies?
Lithosphere. . . . . . . . . . .
What zone meets the earths crust?
the mantle also known as the athenosphere the crust is also known as the lithosphere
What layer lies beneath the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.
What layer contains the lithosphere asthenosphere and mesosphere?
The layer containing the Lithosphere, Asthenosphere and Mesosphere is the Mantle. The Upper Mantle composes of the Lithosphere while the Lower Mantle composes the Asthenosphere.
What is asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is the viscous region of the upper mantle of the Earth that lies just below the lithosphere.
What solid layer between the inner mantle and the lithosphere?
I dont think there is a solid layer between the Lowwer Mantle and the Lithosphere. The only layer which lies in this region is the Asthenosphere, which is a Weak Zone and in Molten State.
What is between the mantle and the lithosphere of the earth?
Actually, the uppermost mantle is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere consists of the crust and attached uppermost rigid mantle.
What is the crust and the upper mantle are called?
The crust and uppermost hard rocky mantle, together, is known as the lithosphere, which is above the plastic-like upper mantle area known as the asthenosphere.
In which layer is the asthenosphere and the lithosphere located?
The mantle is the layer where asthenosphere and the lithosphere are located.
