Which two elements are the most common in the rocky outer surface that makes up earths lithosphere?
silicon and hydrogen
What else can I help you with?
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.
Continents and the ocean floor are part of earths solid rocky surface called?
crust
What is earths surface floating on?
The Earth's surface is supported by the underlying lithosphere, which consists of the rigid outer layer of the Earth's mantle and the Earth's crust. This lithosphere rests on the semi-fluid asthenosphere, which allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
What is earths first layer of atmosphere called?
It's called lithosphere as I remember in science.
What does lithosphere mean in science terms?
The lithosphere refers to the rigid outer layer of the Earth, comprising the crust and part of the upper mantle. It is divided into tectonic plates that float and move on the semi-fluid asthenosphere underneath. The lithosphere plays a crucial role in plate tectonics and the formation of Earth's surface features.
What is the soil and rocks forming the upper layers of the earths surface?
The lithosphere.
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.
Rigid layer of earths surface made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
lithosphere
Continents and the ocean floor are part of earths solid rocky surface called?
crust
What is the order starting from the surface of earths layers?
lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, inner core
What is the rigid layer of the earths surface that is made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
It's called the lithosphere.
What is the order of the earths layers from the center to the surface?
crust, lithosphere,asthenosphere,lowermantle, outer core, inner core
If the lithosphere moved less how would the surface of the earths be affected?
the pushed and pull of tectonic forces would decrease.
What is the rigid layer of earths surface made up of the crust and the part of the upper mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
What makes up a typical plate that moves across earths surface?
a section of both continental and oceanic lithosphere
What is the rigid layer of earths surface made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
What is rigid layer of earths surface made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
