What is another name for the earths crust and upper mantle?
It is called the lithosphere.
What is rigid layer of earths surface made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
What is the crust and brittle upper mantle called?
Earth's crust and brittle upper mantle is called the lithosphere.
What makes up the earths lithosphere?
The Earth's lithosphere is made up of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. It is divided into several large and small tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. These plates interact at plate boundaries, where geological activities like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
What are the layers name of earths interior?
The layers of Earth's interior are the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the outermost layer, followed by the mantle which is divided into the upper and lower mantle. The outer core is liquid and the inner core is solid.
What layers of earth makes up the lithosphere?

What makes up earth lithosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of the hard and brittle outer shell of the Earth consisting of the crust and the uppermost mantle.
What do geologist call the earths crust and upper mantle?

Which forces responsible for earths crust and lithosphere floating on the mantle?
convection currents in the upper mantle
What is the earths under crust surrounded by?
Earths under crust surrounded by Upper Mantle (35-60 km) .The mantle is composed of sillicate rocks that are rich in iron and magnesium relative to the overlying crust.
What makes the layers of the earth?

What is the theory that states that earths crust and upper mantle move around on a speacial layer of the mantle?
Plate tectonics.
What layers of the earth compose the earths plates?
upper part of the mantle and end of the crust.
How do the processes in the upper mantle effect the earths crust?
Cho mama's face is ugly.
What part of the earths mantle that flows and moves the plates of the earth?
Mantle plumes are in the mantle, BELOW the Earth's crust. The circulation of heat from the lower mantle to the upper mantle can cause "hot spots" in the overlying crust, heating the magma in the areas.
