The crust is the uppermost part of the earth. It is also the coolest and least dense. While the mantle is a warmer and dense. The mantle is made up of the Asthenosphere and the Lithosphere. The lithosphere floats in many plates on top of the taffy-like asthenosphere. The Lithosphere is made up of the upper part of the mantle and the crust.
What else can I help you with?
Is the asthenosphere a plastic layer of rock in the mantle or is it a layer of earths crust and mantle?
The asthenosphere is a plastic layer of rock located in the upper mantle, below the lithosphere (earth's crust and uppermost mantle). It is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates due to its partially molten and ductile nature.
What are tectonic made of Magma and solid mantle crust and magma crust and solid mantle solid rock and molten rock?
Igneous rock
What is the thick rocky layer around earths core?
The core of the earth is surrounded by the mantle.The earth's core is called the inner core. Just outside that is the outer core, and it is liquid. Outside the liquid outer core is the mantle.
What is the layer below the earths crust called?
the mantle then the outer core then the inner core
Where you the earths mantle located?
The Earth's mantle is located between the outer core and the Earth's crust. It is a layer of hot, dense rock that is primarily composed of silicate minerals. The mantle makes up the bulk of the Earth's interior and plays a key role in plate tectonics and the movement of the Earth's crust.
What is the layer of the rock beneath the earths crust?
mantle
The layer of rock between earths crust and core?
its called the mantle
What mineral is made when the earths mantle and crust compose into a rock form?
diamond
What has to happen before rock from the earths mantle becomes new piece of crust?
It has to harden
What is the process of recycling materials that make up the earths crust and mantle?
The Rock Cycle ^_^
Is the asthenosphere a plastic layer of rock in the mantle or is it a layer of earths crust and mantle?
The asthenosphere is a plastic layer of rock located in the upper mantle, below the lithosphere (earth's crust and uppermost mantle). It is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates due to its partially molten and ductile nature.
What sphere extends from earths core to earths crust?
The sphere that extends from Earth's core to Earth's crust is known as the mantle. It is a layer of solid rock that lies between the core and the crust, making up the majority of Earth's volume. The mantle is divided into the upper mantle and the lower mantle based on depth and composition.
What are three words that describe earths mantle?
It's only soft and plastic in that it is not as hard as the brittle rock of the crust and uppermost mantle.
What is the layer of earth beneath the crust called?
The layer of the Earth below the crust is called the mantle. The mantle is the thickest layer of the Earth with a depth of 2,890 kilometers.
Earths middle layer?
The middle layer of the Earth is called the mantle. It is a region of solid rock that extends from the base of the crust to the outer core. The mantle is composed of silicate minerals and is divided into the upper mantle and the lower mantle.
What are tectonic made of Magma and solid mantle crust and magma crust and solid mantle solid rock and molten rock?
Igneous rock
What does the earths mantle smell like?
The Earth's mantle is located beneath the crust and is made up of solid rock. Since it is not accessible for direct smelling, we do not have information on what it smells like.
