magma
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.
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.
Tectonic plates are floating on the magma (semi-molten rocks) of the mantle layer. Therefore, they form the crust layer of the Earth.
Both the asthenosphere and lithosphere are part of Earth's upper mantle. The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere where convection currents occur, while the lithosphere includes the rigid outer layer of the Earth that consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.
mesosphere, asthenosphere, ionosphere
Yes it does.
The lithosphere.
it is the lithosphere
convection currents in the upper mantle
crust and upper mantle
After the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, then comes the lower mantle. After that is the outer core, and then is the inner core.
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.
Earths lithosphere is made up of upper mantle. The earths lithosphere is broken into separate sections and it is called as tectonic plates or plate tectonics.
The lithosphere is composed of the hard and brittle outer shell of the Earth consisting of the crust and the uppermost mantle.
It is called the lithosphere.
lithosphere
The very top of Earth's mantle is known as the lithosphere. It is a rigid layer that consists of both the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust above it. The lithosphere is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath it.
